So.., why not create a function in COBOL using unstring and pass parameters

does it need to be written in RPG IV?

Mainly lack of Cobol knowledge. We're an RPG / Java shop.

Additionally, I would really like the target data structure to be soft coded ... we don't have to create a new COBOL procedure to do the "unstring" function for each data structure we create.
