INVALID HEXADECIMAL LITERAL NEAR POSITION nnnn

Reason:

Near position nnnn, the Accounting Facility encountered a logical expression in which an element was being compared with a literal expressed with the syntax reserved for hexadecimal literals, that is, enclosed in double quotes, but the literal was not a valid hexadecimal literal. The literal either contained a character other than 0 through 9 or A through F, or it was composed of an odd number of hexadecimal digits. For example, the valid hexadecimal representation for 500 is 01F4, not 1F4.

Action:

If the element is to be compared to a hexadecimal literal, correct the value within the double quotation marks. If the element is to be compared with a nonhexadecimal literal, revise the punctuation.
