******************************************************************
* MERGE SORT *
* The Merge sort uses a completely different paradigm, one of *
* divide and conquer, to many of the other sorts. The data set *
* is split into smaller sub sets upon which are sorted and then *
* merged together to form the final sorted data set. *
* This version uses the recursive method. Split the data set in *
* half and perform a merge sort on each half. This in turn splits*
* each half again and again until each set is just one or 2 items*
* long. A set of one item is already sorted so is ignored, a set *
* of two is compared and swapped as necessary. The smaller data *
* sets are then repeatedly merged together to eventually form the*
* full, sorted, set. *
* Since cobol cannot do recursion this module only simulates it *
* so is not as fast as a normal recursive version would be. *
* Scales very well to larger data sets, its relative complexity *
* means it is not suited to sorting smaller data sets: use an *
* Insertion sort instead as the Merge sort is a stable sort. *
