mfuser,
HIGH-VALUES represents one or more occurrences of the character that has the highest ordinal position in the collating sequence used. For the EBCDIC collating sequence, the character is X'FF'; for other collating sequences, the actual character used depends on the collating sequence used.
LOW-VALUES represents one or more occurrences of the character that has the lowest ordinal position in the collating sequence used. For the EBCDIC collating sequence, the character is X'00'; for other collating sequences, the actual character used depends on the collating sequence used.
Check this for a typical usage of figurative constants HIGH-VALUES and LOW-VALUES
Hope this helps...
Cheers
