Hi all,

We have been searching a solution to create a Cobol program which allows to
convert/check a string input entry
to a numeric with format indications like examples below :

Input entry
      "-123456" or "- 12345.56" or ...
      "S9999,99" or "S9 999.99" or... (Output format wanted)

Output entry
      -1234,56 or -1 234.56 or ...

We don't found any solution on the web (despite our's efforts), do someone
have a solution for this ?

Best regards

Steeve
