Program Identification and Data Names 

The DG Interactive COBOL system allows the PROGRAM-ID and a data item in
that program to have the same name.  However, this COBOL system does not
allow the use of the same name for the PROGRAM-ID and a data item in a
program, requiring instead that each should be unique.  We recommend that
you either change the program name in the PROGRAM-ID and in any programs
that call this program, or change the name of the data item.
