NAME TRAVERSE DD FOR FILE CONVERSION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The post-install routine in the Registration patch
DG*5.3*172 is looping through the "PT" node in both the MARITAL STATUS file
(#11) and RELIGION file (#13) to convert the non-standard entries into
standard entries.  The non-standard entries are deleted after the conversion.
However, the conversion cannot convert entries within a subfile, so the patch
identifies the subfile within the "PT" node and traverses back through the
"UP" nodes looking at the subfile zero nodes to report the subfile NAMES that
could not be converted.  This information is placed in a mail message which is
reported back to the installer of patch DG*5.3*172.
