Illegal string continuation

  Explanation:  Your program has illegal string continuation.

  User Action:  In COBOL, to continue a string you must do three
  things:  1) not end the string with a quote on the initial line;
  2) insert a continuation character (-) in the first column of
  the next line; and, 3) start the continued string with a quote
  as the first nonblank character after the continuation character
  (this quote is ignored).
