Re: Conversion of numeric data to character format?

   Jon,

   I think that works for a single case, but you can't write a generic
   routine unless you always are converting the same size field.  Or can you?
    I would rather avoid writing ugly COBOL code if it can easily be avoided.

   Original message:
   ------------------------------

   Since RPG provides a simple, elegant solution and is an ILE language, why
   not simply write this (and any other similar routines in RPG?).  It is not
   as if you have to buy the compiler - you own it if you own the COBOL one.
    I see no point in writing ugly COBOL code when the RPG option is
   available.
