Bill,

It's not about the margin.
That will work:
01 A.
02 FILLER.
05 FIELD PIC X.
02 FLD2 PIC X.

That does not work:
01 A.
05 FIELD PIC X.
02 FLD2 PIC X.

Sorry,
 Your reply still doesn't make sense.  It is PERFECTLY legal to change an
01-level to an 02-level (before an 05-Level) ASSUMING that you have an
01-level in the structure.  As I indicated, there are issues about 01-levels
being in the A-margin and 02-levels being in the B-margin.

I don't think anyone is going to be able to help you until you can show us
the actual code and error messages.

The issue is that level 02 is following level 05 and there was no 02 before. 
I'm not a Cobol guru but I expect that standard does not allow that.
Tandem (HP Nonstop) Cobol gives an error too.
The rest - at least all 390 mainframe, AS400, MFocus, Fujitsu are giving only warning and producing the correct code.
I think if it's possible it's better to fix (at least for mf,ibm,mvs dialects) 

Regards,
Sergey
