This... to me feels like copy-pasting code. And the more different
d_shift values you have to support, the worse this becomes.

I do suspect this *might* be the best-performing approach. Even if
it
is, I don't think the performance gains are worth the
verbosification
(and calcification) of the code.

So are you saying that you would NOT like to see a service
procedure similar to the following [SELECT with 15 WHEN branches,
plus fallback] to accomplish this?

Correct. I would have rather seen the string processing logic as the
guts of the service procedure.


Well, I would rather have seen IBM create %DEC and %DECH to accept
true variable data for the precision and scale parameters. ;-)
