Tom, That is a good thing to have available in COBOL but as others have already said, wouldn't this be better implemented as an LE callable function available to other HLL's besides COBOL (including Assembler)?
Or is it the intention of the IBM COBOL Development team to implement the COBOL intrinsic function as an invocation of a new underlying callable LE function?
