  Message:      1110
 
  Text:         First literal is greater than second.  Processed as
                written
 
  Explanation:  In the ALPHABET clause the first literal that is
                specified has a value greater than that of the second,
                for example, P THRU D. Your COBOL system accepts this
                as written, that is, the characters are processed in
                reverse order.
