We've had a couple of Cobol 153 errors lately. I remember this error from my old days of trying to support a distribution system that was written in Cobol, although I don't pretend to know exactly what it means.
In the olden days we used to get this error where a piece of data didn't match the definition in the program - so for example, it was expecting a numeric value and got a text string.
In this case, in at least one case of PeopleSoft Global Payroll failure it was caused by an Array limit being set too small - something that took an age to track down.
Edit: I plan to post more on this including some tips on how to track down which payee is experiencing the error
