If you can't figure out what the message is saying open a PMR with the COBOL people tell them for the up teenth time that these messages are NOT self describing.

IGYPS0157-E A shift-out was found in column 50 without a matching shift-in in a nonnumeric or national literal. The literal was processed as written.

A shift-out without a shift-in?  Pretty obvious.

Not if he was not using DBCS. No reason to expect
this message. Apparently it was caused by the
change if default compiler option settings, which
does seem a little obscure, don't you think?

Not at all.

Just because you find a shift-in in your source doesn't mean the error message is at fault. If you look at your listing and actually see a shift in there, then you might want to complain about the preprocessor that placed it there. But that would be the preprocessors fault, not the message -- it means exactly what it says.

If you will pardon the pun, this sound like a perfect example of 'shooting the messenger' instead of addressing the root cause.
