My Mainframe guy gave a text file that had the COBOL FILE DEFINITION
and few columns are like this
10 XF-PRIM-REG-ID PIC +9(02)V9(06).
10 XF-PRIM-REM-ID PIC +9(03)V9(06).
It has a + sign in PIC 9. Is this a correct CFD anyway, because I am not able to import this CFD from Manager. I know I can keep that extra + sign by defining a new filler as PIC X(1), but my question is more from COBOL perspective if this is a correct generation. Any comments?

Not something I've seen. You could perhaps work around it by changing the FD.
