I am stumped.  Trying to sort an in-core table with just 16 table entries.  I have the following defined in working storage:
01  work-rcd.
    02  filler  pic x(15).
    02  std-val occurs 16 times.
        03  std-key   pic x(10).
    02  filler  pic x(1448).
Then I just have the following in the procedure division:
sort std-val ascending std-key.
The compiler throws up with the following messages:
   STMT
*    71  MSGID: LNC1331  SEVERITY: 30  SEQNBR:  004700
         Message . . . . :   'STD-VAL' defined as incorrect type.
*    71  MSGID: LNC2750  SEVERITY: 30  SEQNBR:  004700
         Message . . . . :   'STD-KEY' table item but not subscripted.
*    71  MSGID: LNC1623  SEVERITY: 30  SEQNBR:  004700
         Message . . . . :   SORT/MERGE key 'STD-KEY' subordinate to 'STD-VAL'
           containing OCCURS. Statement ignored.
*    71  MSGID: LNC1447  SEVERITY: 30  SEQNBR:  004700
         Message . . . . :   Statement incomplete; last valid item found before
           '.'. Statement ignored.
This is based on my review of the IBM i COBOL documentation on line.
What am I missing?
