Try compiling with OPTION(*SECLVL), then check the "Message Summary" at
the bottom of your compiler listing.  The messages will be expanded to
show the help for each message.  Most CRT commands that produce listings
support OPTION(*SECLVL).

Here's what it says for RNF3757.  (Only somewhat helpful, in this case. 
It does suggest the two alternatives Scott and Jon gave, but if you take
the "remove the keyword" path, it doesn't help with what to do after you
remove the keyword.)

The keyword is not valid for definitions in subprocedures.
  Cause . . . . . :   The following keywords are allowed in
    Definition specifications in subprocedures: ALT, ALTSEQ,
    ASCEND, BASED, CONST, DATFMT, DESCEND, DIM, EXTFLD,
    EXTNAME, EXTPGM, EXTPROC, INZ, LIKE, NOOPT, OCCURS,
    OPDESC, OVERLAY, OPTIONS, PACKEVEN, PREFIX, PROCPTR,
    STATIC, TIMFMT, VALUE. The keyword is ignored.
  Recovery  . . . :   Remove the keyword, or move the
    definition to the Definition specifications in the main
    source section. Compile again.
