Answer / quasar chunawala

You cannot perform Arithmetic Operations on Textual
Character Data.

01 WS-TEXT PIC X(02) VALUE '15'.

ADD +1 TO WS-TEXT

This is a S0C-7(Data Exception in COBOL).

If you still want to acheive this effect, I suggest you do
it this way -

01 WS-TEXT PIC X(02) VALUE '15'.
01 WS-NUMBER REDEFINES WS-TEXT PIC 9(02).

ADD +1 TO WS-NUMBER
