1. MOVE FUNCTION REVERSE(WS-NAME-INPT) TO
WS-NAME-RVRS.

2. MOVE WS-NAME-INPT(1:1) TO WS-NAME-RVRS(8:1)
MOVE WS-NAME-INPT(2:1) TO WS-NAME-RVRS(7:1)
MOVE WS-NAME-INPT(3:1) TO WS-NAME-RVRS(6:1)
MOVE WS-NAME-INPT(4:1) TO WS-NAME-RVRS(5:1)
MOVE WS-NAME-INPT(5:1) TO WS-NAME-RVRS(4:1)
MOVE WS-NAME-INPT(6:1) TO WS-NAME-RVRS(3:1)
MOVE WS-NAME-INPT(7:1) TO WS-NAME-RVRS(2:1)
