when Iam trying to import metadata from a cobol copy book,it is showing error as follows

Error 1 (line 138) 'CC4' column being redefined is not found

I have threee columns named "CC426687" in my cobol copy book.
"
10 X-NW-DDA-STMT-FORM-MEDIA-R REDEFINES CC426687
10 X-NW-DDA-STMT-FORM-MEDIA. CC426687
15 X-NW-STMT-OPTION-CURR PIC X. CC426687
15 X-NW-STMT-OPTION-FUTURE PIC X. CC426687 "

Can anyone help me in sorting out that error?

That syntax is invalid. You might have reformatted it, so could you post the original inside "code" tags?

15 X-NW-STMT-OPTION-CURR PIC X. CC426687
15 X-NW-STMT-OPTION-FUTURE PIC X. CC426687

the letters in bold should be removed

The format is still illegal in COBOL, unless the trailing "CC426687" starts in column 73 and you trimmed extra space!
