cobol error

Meth,
Your problem is (as it says) a non numeric in a numeric field (eg. spaces in a PIC 9); you will get this error when you try to access this field (eg. within a mathematical statement).
The pc=14d call=1 seg=0 is the address of the problem and you will need a compiled listing of your program with a memory address mapping list down either side of your code in order to track down the delinquent field. If you can't get this listing I would advise you desk check your code and make sure all your working storage (numeric) variables are initialize correctly. You may have initialised as spaces at a group level or not initialized at all. If you still can't track down the problem and you don't have a way whereby you can 'animate' your code within your IDE I suggest you place 'displays' within your code and track down the problem the old-fashioned way. If this is a new program you are likely to have the same problem elsewhere, if it's a program you are altering (and worked ok in the past) the problem will be around the bit you have altered.
Good Luck.

This is a problem (feature?) with some compilers. When I was writing MF CobolII on CTOS, the error was never generated. I am now on MF NetExpress 3.1, and I will get this error if I don't initialize my numeric fields with zero or numeric values. There is also a project level option that, if set, the IDE and run-time will ignore the error (so I always set it).
