77 CONS PIC 9(3)V99; COMP 3.

Actually when one works out what the compiler is doing it is not too
strange.

It is taking the '3' as being the next level number, therefore there is
a missing full stop on the previous declaration and you can't have a
level 3 after a 77.

It all goes downhill from there. Note that CONS is also used as a
paragaph name causing more confusion.

You should also study what 'EXIT' does and ask why you are using it.
You may also want to consider what happens after it has executed the
line PERFORM F-PROG.
