Answer / billyboyo

In IBM Cobol.

You need to give WS-I a starting value and increment it (or
decrement it, depending on the value) either in the perform
construct or in the paragraph.

You should consider the PICTURE and USAGE of WS-I. Much
better as PIC S9(4) and COMP.

You are also using a compile option, probably NUMPROC
(NOPFD) which is preventing your program abending by
doing "sign fixing". Only use NOPFD is all your data is
good, otherwise it makes errors harder to find.
