I tried these sources all.
I did not got result but errors.

One of my friends sent me a source code to help.
It works.
I compared both.
I just find the column number differences.

THIS SOURCE WORKED AND COMPILED RIGHT.
---------------------------------------
       IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
       PROGRAM-ID. DI01.
       ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
       DATA
DIVISION.                                                   EZA00270
       WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
 
******************************************************************
       01 TEST-DG.
           03 NAME1               PIC X(20) VALUE 'TEST'.
           03 NO1                 PIC 9(4)  VALUE 4444.
 
******************************************************************EZA01700
       PROCEDURE
DIVISION.                                              EZA01720
           DISPLAY "NAME:".
           ACCEPT NAME1 OF TEST-DG.
           DISPLAY "NO:".
           ACCEPT NO1 OF TEST-DG.
           DISPLAY "--------------------------------------------"
           DISPLAY NAME1.
           DISPLAY NO1.
           STOP RUN.
-------------------------
AND THIS IS MY BAD SOURCE
-------------------------
   identification division.
   program-id. nwtest01.
   environment division.
   data division.
   procedure division.
       display "hello" upon console
       stop run
       .
-------------------------
As you see the difference is just in column starting.
Therefore, Error messages did not show this problem.
I think so.

Anyway, thanks to all my friends for your help.
Best,
