Answer / reena
The Redefined clause cannot contain a Value Clause.
i.e. it should only be WS-VARN REDEFINES WS-VARX PIC 9(5).

Answer / jitinder
The Syntax of Redefine Clause is
Label number data-name-1 REDFINES data-name-2
Here data-name-1 should not contain VALUE clause, but data-
name-2 can contain VALUE clause.
