AnswerClick to flip back
A
Compilation error
💡 Explanation:
The code has a compilation error. In COBOL, when using REDEFINES, the redefining field cannot have a VALUE clause in the WORKING-STORAGE section. Additionally, storing alphanumeric 'ABCDEFGHIJ' characters into a numeric PIC 9(5) field is invalid. The VALUE clause on WS-VAR2 makes this a compile-time error.
