There's also the H-spec keyword DECEDIT(*JOBRUN | 'value'), which it
seems should handle the decimal point issue in straight conversions in
some cases.

Wayne,
If I did that then instead of one million two hundred thirty four
thousand five hundred sixty seven and 89/xx I would have gotten one
hundred twenty three million four hundred fifty six thousand seven
hundred eighty nine and xx/xx.
Use %xlate to replace the commas with spaces. %dec is forgiving of
spaces.
