  IF A RIGHT PARENTHESES IS IN A DATA DESCRIPTOR, THE AUDITOR
  MAY TRUNCATE THE DATA IN THAT DESCRIPTOR. THE AUDITOR USES
  A RIGHT PARENTHESES AS A DELIMITER FOR DATA DESCRIPTORS. THE
  PROBLEM IS THAT THE AUDIT LANGUAGE COMPILER ALLOWS THE RIGHT
  PARENTHESES TO BE CODED IN A LITERAL THAT WILL BE STORED IN A
  DATA DESCRIPTOR. THE ERROR SHOULD BE FLAGGED IN THE COMPILER
  RUN INSTEAD OF AT EXECUTION TIME.
  

Problem conclusion

• THE COMPILER WILL CHECK FOR A RIGHT PARENTHESES IMBEDDED IN A
  LITERAL AND ISSUE ERROR MESSAGE MSGADFH875: 'RIGHT PARENTHESES
  NOT ALLOWED INSIDE A DATA DESCRIPTOR FOR THIS OPERATION.'
    THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS ARE MADE BY THE AUDITOR AND ARE STILL
  ALLOWED BY THE COMPILER:
   A RIGHT PARENTHESES IS ALLOWED INSIDE A SPAERMSG LITERAL.
   A RIGHT PARENTHESES IS ALLOWED IF ASSIGNED TO A 1 CHARACTER
   FIELD.
