       During my exercises with Fujitsu COBOL and my CopyCSV program, I
    tried to use a
          COPY
              REPLACING
                --- among other things this:
                ==9V9== BY ==9.9==
                ==)V9== BY ==).9==

       According to the program listing, the replacement occured as
    wanted, so that the resulting PIC clause was as in the subject line,
    but the compiler complained about an "Invalid combination in PICTURE
    character string. PICTURE 9 assumed" (error msg JMN1434I-S).

       I had specified a "SIGN IS LEADING SEPARATE" on the group level.

       When I add this other REPLACING clause:
              == S9== BY == -9==

       I get another message:

     JMN2008I-W WHEN SIGN CLAUSE IS SPECIFIED FOR GROUP ITEM,AT LEAST ONE
       SIGNED EXTERNAL DECIMAL ITEM MUST BE SPECIFIED FOR SUBORDINATING
       ELEMENTARY ITEM. SIGN CLAUSE IGNORED.

       But there is, among others, this one, resulting from the REPLACING:

        10 CTLGTOTAL-INVOICE-AM PIC -9(11).9(2) USAGE DISPLAY.

       Is the compiler wrong or me?
