Can you paste your WS section declaration and
code snipet where you are accessing that table?

you are referencing a element var-1 which is part of an internal cobol table definition. depending upon the number of demensions involved, you need 1, 2 or ? subscripts, indicies to properly reference var-1.

this is wrong for a 1 demensional table:
move 'a' to var-1
correct is:
move 'a' to var-1(subscript) or var-1(index)

this is wrong when var-1 is part of a declared second 1 demensional:
move 'a' to var-1(1) or var-1(ws-sub) or var-1(idx-1)
correct is:
move 'a' to var-1(subscript-1, subscript2) or var-1(index1, index2)
