                       4.  A level 88 is subordinate to an index item.
                       5.  The first level number in a section is not 01 or 77.
                       6.  The first level number subordinate to an FD or SD is not 01.

                       7.  A level 88 is subordinate to a 66 level item.
                       8.  A level 66 is subordinate to a 77 level item.

186      ERROR      !! FOR !.
         MESSAGE

         CAUSE      This error message is for illegal or missing forward references.
                    The insertions are for the forward reference type, the name of the
                    forward reference, and the name of the file or table containing the
                    forward reference.  The forward reference types are table keys,
                    alternate keys, depending on identifiers, file status identifiers,
                    volume identifiers, labels identifiers, seq identifiers, exdate
                    identifiers, linage identifiers, footing identifiers, top
                    identifiers, bottom identifiers, padding character identifiers and
                    record varying identifiers.  Illegal forward references could occur
                    because the key or identifier is in the wrong section or has wrong
                    usage or size.  This error could also occur because it has the
                    wrong scope, that is, external files must have external linage or
                    padding characters, depending on identifiers must have global or
                    external the same as the table and be in the same DATA DIVISION.
