Answer / rajani
working-storage section.
01 name1 pic x(17) value 'cobol programming'.
01 name2 pic x(17).
01 i pic 99.
01 j pic 99 value 1.
procedure division.
perform para varying i from 17 by -1 until i<1.
display name2.
stop run
para.
move name1(i:1) to name2(j:1).
add 1 to j.

Answer / jagan
This should convert the string in reverse order without any
built-in functions . And one more thing is COBOL PROGRAMMING
is actually 17 characters.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 NAME-1 PIC X(17) 'COBOL PROGRAMMING'
01 NAME-2
05 NAME-21 PIC X(1) OCCURS 17 TIMES.
01 I PIC X(2)
01 J PIC X(2)
PROCEDURE DIVISON.
MAIN-PARA.
MOVE 0 TO J.
PERFORM READ-NAME VARYING I FROM 17 BY -1 UNTIL I > 0.
STOP RUN.
READ-NAME
ADD 1 TO J.
MOVE NAME-1(I) TO NAME-21(J).
END-READ-NAME.
Correct me in case any problem with above code.

01 STR1 PIC X(17) VALUE IS 'COBOL PROGRAMMING'.
01 STR2 PIC X(1).
01 STR3 PIC X(17) VALUE SPACE.
01 STRLEN PIC 9(2).
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
INSPECT STR1 TALLYING STRLEN FOR CHARACTERS.
DISPLAY STRLEN.
PERFORM UNTIL STRLEN < 1
MOVE STR1(STRLEN:1) TO STR2
DISPLAY STR2
STRING
STR3 DELIMITED BY SPACE

Answer / ankur kar
In order to reverse the String the only way is by declaring
the string as an array and then sequentially arrage the
array based on the asending/desending order of the array
and then display the sequential result accordingly.
Otherwise there is no command in COBOL that will allow the
string to be displayed in the reverse order.
