COBOL COLLATING SEQUENCE
D
The following table shows the relationship between characters of the COBOL set and their equivaient
machine, printer, and punched card codes. They are listed according to ascending collating se-
quence. The COBOL quote
(If)
character is represented as a not-equal-to
(f)
sign on the printer.
The 4-8 multiple punch must be used to represent the quote in a COBOL source card.
Characters shown with an asterisk are not available in COBOL source language but would be treated
in the sequence indicated if present in data.
