Hi everyone,

In a COBOL program, if I have this line:
     compute var = function ord(<certain char>) - 161
what does it actually compute?

Also, if you happen to know too. Given that's how to compute a certain 
character (above equation), would you know the range of integer of control 
characters? Or even just the ordinal position of all control characters [function 
ord()]?

Thanks a lot! =)
