Re: Printing from right to left.

Set the print line up as an array (like Pic x occurs 132 times. etc.) then
load the print characters in from end to beginning by starting your
subscript or index at 132, then vary it by (Minus 1 (-1)) until index or
subscript is less than 1.  A perform varying works well.  You may
investigate the STRING verb.  This will depend upon the Cobol compiler
version you use.
Good luck,  Idno Nada
