Purpose
The following three error messages produced by a failed COBOL job generally will indicate the same problem:
Error 153 (Text not found)
Error 153 (Subscript Out of Range)
Array Size Exceeded
When any of these three errors are thrown, the problem is generally going to be that an array, setup within a COBOL job's working storage section, has been exceeded by data coming in to the program by way of a SQL Select statement or through the internal manipulation of data within the COBOL job. When an array has been exceeded, it is necessary to increase the size of the array enough to handle the data while not consuming resources.
