     For example, with ALPHASTART "1", the COBOL statement:
 
       ALPHABET MYALPHA IS 66,  67
 
     declares an alphabet consisting of "A" and "B" since, counting
     from 1, these are the 66th and 67th characters in the ASCII
     collating sequence. With ALPHASTART "0", MYALPHA consists of "B"
     and "C".
 
     For ANSI conformance use ALPHASTART "1".
