If you check the COBOL
Programming Guide manual, you can find section 2.1.7.1 which gives the entire program to generate a list of every possible compiler error message as
Identification Division.
Program-ID. ErrMsg.
so you can generate your own list.

Thank you. I ve referred the manual. The manual is having information about the error formats and erros that can occur in a cobol program. But I want errors that get generated while handling Picture clauses.

Hello,
Suggest you concentrate on writing correct code and when an error is generated, know how to find the information about the error in the manuals. . .
It is a considerable waste of time to try to itemize every possible error that could be generated. . .
Also suggest you create code with a few things you know are different picture errors. When these errors are shown in the compiler output, look up the official explanation. . .

You're welcome
If you find an error description that is not clear, post your doubt and someone will be able to clarify.

The errors that can be generated from a PICTURE clause will be included in the list of all errors that COBOL can generate. You would have to do a little work to find these errors yourself -- apparently this is beyond you. But you were provided a quick method to generate what you asked about.
If you have specific errors, post them and we will help you interpret them.
