out. I am getting a S0C7 abend. Pls let me know if there is
any way of getting this done?

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
