4.2.4.3.6.1 Data Type Definition(MIN/MAX)

These statements are used to define a data element as type
MINIMUM or MAXIMUM.  Both MIN/MAX support the definition of
an optional initial value.  Note that an automatic dependency
is created between the data element and the seed value.
 STATEMENT FORMAT
 
This keyword is coded with the KEYWORD starting in column 1,
free-form, and continuing through column 72.  Continuation is
not supported and multiple MINIMUM/MAXIMUM statements can be
specified.  The following describes the format and coding
rules for the MIN/MAX statement.

                      you can specify multiple elements
                      and/or element/seed pairs.
 
            /seed   - The name of a data element that is used
                      to set the initial value of the
                      element.  This is an optional
                      parameter.  If specified, you must
