Hello Leslie and welcome back, I can reproduce the error (after commenting out all other copybooks) with both 2.2 and 3.0RC1 while these parts are perfectly fine with GnuCOBOL 1.1. Thank you for reporting this, I'll inspect this next and will drop a note about the result (likely together with a fix).
