5   *   Description:  This job provides an example of how to get job info
6   *                 from Round 1 in the FY 1998 JOBS file when a Round 2
7   *                 current main job in the FY 1999 JOBS file is a
8   *                 continuation job.
9   *
10  *                 This example creates a data set of Round 2 continuation
11  *                 JOB records with a SICKPAYX variable copied from the
12  *                 Round 1 newly reported job.
