COBOL code wont compile and create an executable - cobol

I'm trying to create a report for a given input file where I am supposed to ill examine each record to determine if it fails to meet certain criteria. The issue that I am facing now is that the cob file wont compile eventhough it doesn't explicitly show any errors when compiling it on the command window and the executable doesn't get created. I was wondering if any of you could help me figure out where the error lies in my code.

As you've used the GnuCOBOL tag I've just used a simple compile.
Result:
main.cobc: in paragraph '400-check':
main.cobc: 139: error: invalid expression
main.cobc: 143: error: invalid expression
main.cobc: 146: error: invalid expression
main.cobc: 150: error: invalid expression
main.cobc: 153: error: FUNCTION 'TEST-DATE-YYYYMMDD' has invalid parameter
main.cobc: 153: error: invalid expression
main.cobc: 153: error: invalid expression
The invalid expression part is "is negative" (additional line 139 doesn't make sense "Negative And >= 60" as this would never be true; line 146 is even more weird: "Is Not Numeric and Is Negative").
The issue that I am facing now is that the cob file wont compile eventhough it doesn't explicitly show any errors when compiling it
I guess the messages from the compilers are redirected somewhere.

How do I fix duplication of fields in RPT file?

This program is to read in the SEQ file and take the data thru different validations, if it fails to comply with one of the validations the error message is moved to FIELD-NAME and FIELD-VALUE is the errored field.
After all data is processed all transaction are to be used to create the RPT file.
PROBLEM: When reviewing the RPT file, a weird issue is that ERROR FIELD NAME/ERROR FIELD VALUE keeps repeating the same error after entry is passed. I believe the problem is located in the 300, 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 sections.
Part number validation requirements Col. 01-05 must be a number, col 06 must be a capital, 07-08 must be a number in the range 01-68 or 78-99
Quantity validation requirements Leading spaces are allowed(can be all spaces), if not all spaces must be a number after leading spaces, zero value is allowed, value over 20,000 is an error
Date validation requirements month value must be 01-12, day value must be 01-31
Charge Number validation requirements cannot be blank, must be left justified(no leading spaces), and no more than one dash (hyphen) allowed
Initial validation requirements both must be letters (upper or lower case OK)
Transaction Code validation requirements must be REC, ISS, AJ+, or AJ-
If you run my attached program with the attached SEQ, your RPT will look like mine.
Below is the desired output. (pg 1)

Thank you.
The reason the content of FIELD-NAME and FIELD-VALUE are repeated is that nothing was done to change the content of those fields. At a minimum, it is necessary to move spaces into those fields after writing the report line. In 200-PROCESS-ONE-RECORD, insert a MOVE statement after writing the record, such as that shown below.
MOVE DETAIL-LINE TO INVENTORY-TRANS-RECORD-OUT-2
WRITE INVENTORY-TRANS-RECORD-OUT-2
MOVE SPACES TO FIELD-NAME FIELD-VALUE

How do I fix duplication?

This program is to read in the SEQ file and take the data thru different validations, if it fails to comply with one of the validations the error message is moved to FIELD-NAME.
After all data is processed all transaction are to be used to create the RPT file.
PROBLEM: When reviewing the RPT file, everything is duplicated except the Heading-Line-1. Another weird issue is that ERROR FIELD NAME/ERROR FIELD VALUE keeps repeating the same error after entry is passed.
If you run the code provided with the SEQ also provide you will see how the data currently prints. Attached below is a link to how the first page of data should look.

The duplicate output occurs in the following code.

WRITE INVENTORY-TRANS-RECORD-OUT-2
MOVE DETAIL-LINE TO INVENTORY-TRANS-RECORD-OUT-2
WRITE INVENTORY-TRANS-RECORD-OUT-2
The first WRITE statement prints a duplicate of the previous line. The second WRITE statement prints a new line, which is printed again on the next loop. Remove the first WRITE statement.
Other problems I noted are:
Invalid literals
330-VALIDATE-CHARGE-NUMBER.
IF CHARGE-NUMBER-IN IS EQUAL TO ''
340-VALIDATE-INITIALS.
IF ((INITIALS-1-IN IS EQUAL TO '') OR (INITIALS-2-IN IS EQUAL TO ''))
A zero-length literal is not permitted; thus, in each case, '' should be ' '.
Invalid numeric compare
310-VALIDATE-QUANTITY.
IF QUANTITY-9-IN IS GREATER THAN '20,000'
QUANTITY-9-IN is defined as PIC 9(5); however the data contains leading spaces and '20,000' is not valid for numeric comparisons. A proper numeric comparison could be:
IF FUNCTION NUMVAL (QUANTITY-IN) IS GREATER THAN 20000
These following were not investigated further than noted.
Print spacing does not match the desired output
There are no ADVANCING phrases for the lines written, thus only single-spacing is used.
Totals do not print correctly
WS-QUANTITY is defined as PIC 9V999. It should be 9999 or 9(4).
The data items for the totals are not being incremented.
The MOVE statements in the 500-, 510-, 520-, and 530- paragraphs overwrite fixed text.

Invalid type cast from 'null'

I am still new to COBOL and have been working on a project for school for almost a week now. I am running OpenCobol 1.1.
When I try to compile it I get this error.

I've been frustrated because I've tried changing the code around a lot with no luck.

The compiler has a broken parser. It is broken because of a coding error (still a compiler bug). In cases like this you only have the chance to either spot the error or - much better - use a newer version.
I've just put your code in an online compiler using the last release of the compiler: GnuCOBOL 2.2. I highly suggest to upgrade to at least this version.
See your code here - I've just added a minimal header and end.
Then click on "Execute" and you compile it online, leading to the following error messages:
main.cobc: 27: error: duplicate PICTURE clause
main.cobc: 27: error: duplicate VALUE clause
main.cobc: 64: error: a Z or * which is after the decimal point cannot follow 9
If you check the line 27 in this program you see
05 Pic X(29) Value "Stomper &" &
" Wombat's Emporium" *> <<- missing period
05 Pic X(6) Value "Page:".
Fixed code is also available.

Data validation for file and formatting the output

I'm trying to code a program to determine if different kinds of errors appear in a given file. I'm going to post my entire code, because I honestly have no idea where I'm going wrong here. It's just abending on me. The data validation is 2100-error-checking.

In your latest version, you have made a group item (DATE-DUE) but you have not adjusted the level-numbers for the other date fields which are subordinate to it. I have made those three level 10. To use SYSIN data to be convenient for me, I added a 32-byte FILLER to the end of the input record.
I compile, gets an RC/CC of 4, so the linkedit/binder runs.
I used this data from your other question:
VC 10045380051005ABC ELECTRONICS 00001298
VC 050926XYZ COMPANY 00R00549
VT 12348760051115QUALITY ASSURANCE CO 00400053
VC A14BCF80051201 00100930
And got this output, with no abend:
VENDOR RECORD VALIDATION PAGE 1
RC VENDOR # DATE DUE VENDOR NAME AMOUNT DUE -- ERROR CODES--
VC 10045380 051005 ABC ELECTRONICS 000,012.98

I have pasted the data from your other question.
Note, if your actual data is incorrect, you may get an abend with the amount field.
Note also what has happened to the R in the amount field. You haven't validated that for NUMERIC.
I have now compiled and run your program with the two corrections (the VALUE clauses for the two counts, and the END-READ). Here is the output:
VENDOR RECORD VALIDATION PAGE 1
RC VENDOR # DATE DUE VENDOR NAME AMOUNT DUE -- ERROR CODES--

I used a fixed-length file, as I don't have access to your actual file, which must be variable-length (it is good to be explicit in the FD, then you don't get those I-informational messages at the end of your compile).
You still have some things to sort out, but the program is running and producing output. If you make those code changes and still have problems, then it is your file that is in error.
You have a very frustrating problem which seems to be down to the "environment". You need to be able to see your compile listings. If the compile fails (RC/CC above 4) then your linkedit/binder step won't run, and you won't get a new executable program. I think that is your problem, but you need help from your tutor to sort out how to find the compile listing and confirm that there are no errors.
I have not used Rational Developer and don't know if you are using zPDT or are compiling on the Mainframe or how you'd look at the compiler output in either case from your Rational Developer session.
Your code is basically OK for a learner, and probably has been for a couple of days. You have been struggling with a problem not directly to do with the code, but to do with not knowing your program had compile errors. Basically, except for a couple of typos, it was there.
When you do get it running in your environment, update your Code Review question please.
A really good thing to know is what compile produced the version of the program that you ran, whether or not it abended.
You can display the date and time that the program was compiled:
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 W-WHEN-COMPILED PIC X(8)BX(8).
...
Before doing anything else, other than identifying that it is the first time in a CALLed sub-program, something like this:
MOVE WHEN-COMPILED TO W-WHEN-COMPILED
DISPLAY
"Program XXXXXXXX compiled on "
W-WHEN-COMPILED
The output you get will be the date/time from the actual compile of that program, matching exactly to the date/time on the compile listing.
I've used code like that, and recommended it to others, for over 30 years, and it has saved shed-loads of time.
There is also an intrinsic FUNCTION, WHEN-COMPILED. This is the same, but with a four-digit year. Since for the forseeable future the CC in the year will be 20 you can chose which one to do. Both are resolved at compile-time, and impact on run-time will be minimal.
You have no END-READ. This gives you an E-level diagnostic from the compile, a Return-Code/Condition-Code of 8, and you linkedit/binder step following probably hasn't run (have a look at the COND for the step in file 2 of the spool for your job).
Here is your code as a reminder:
PERFORM UNTIL END-OF-FILE = "YES"
READ DATVAL02
AT END
MOVE "YES" TO END-OF-FILE
NOT AT END
PERFORM 2100-ERROR-ROUTINE
IF ERROR-FLAG = "YES"
PERFORM 2500-PROCESS
PERFORM 3000-PROCESS
END-IF
IF ERROR-FLAG = "NO"
PERFORM 2500-PROCESS
END-IF
END-PERFORM.
Here is what it could look like with the END-READ:
PERFORM UNTIL END-OF-FILE = "YES"
READ DATVAL02
AT END
MOVE "YES" TO END-OF-FILE
NOT AT END
PERFORM 2100-ERROR-ROUTINE
IF ERROR-FLAG = "YES"
PERFORM 2500-PROCESS
PERFORM 3000-PROCESS
END-IF
IF ERROR-FLAG = "NO"
PERFORM 2500-PROCESS
END-IF
END-READ
END-PERFORM
Since no new program has been linked, you are running the old program still and getting the old error still.
You are adding to non-binary fields which you have not given an initial value.
05 VALID-RECORDS PIC S99.
05 INVALID-RECORDS PIC S99.
IF ERROR-FLAG = "YES"
ADD 1 TO INVALID-RECORDS
END-IF.
IF ERROR-FLAG = "NO"
ADD 1 TO VALID-RECORDS
END-IF.
Without an initial value (either from a VALUE clause, or a MOVE or even the dread INITIALIZE), the value is undefined and is unlikely to be valid for a zoned-decimal field, so S0C7.
Have a look at this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17102485/1927206 to see if you can work out from that exactly where it is failing in your program.

Occurs and Subscripts

I seem to have yet another problem dealing with COBOL. My teacher has assigned us with having to take a file of names and make it into two columns going 54 rows down. I thought this was going to be simple as I looked in the book as it was more or less using a new function to do what I had all ready been doing, but once I got home and put down my code it all went to heck. Th program I made, for some reason unknown to me, only writes one name in the first column of row one and the does the same ever 54 rows. I am obviously on the wrong track but in my mind it looks right. Here is what I got:
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 ARE-THERE-MORE-RECORDS PIC X(3) VALUE 'YES'.
01 REPORT-START PIC X VALUE 'Y'.
01 LINE-COUNT PIC 99 VALUE ZEROS.
01 PAGE-NUMBER PIC 99 VALUE ZEROS.

This is not all I have to do, but until I figure this out I cannot continue.
I'm not familiar with this dialect of COBOL, but i thnk the problem is with:
MOVE NAME-IN TO NAME-STORAGE
I t should look like this:
MOVE NAME-IN TO NAME-STO OF NAME-STORAGE(NAME-COUNT)
Am i right am i wrong or am i just dreaming?
