I'm poking at writing data out to a SAS XPORT file (transport file). Each record must be 80 bytes long, ASCII. Integers should be "IBM- style integers" and floats should be "IBM-style doubles." Now I have some idea what that means from reading a C source file documented by the SAS institute, but before I go over the deep end trying to write my own routines, does anyone know of an already-done means of writing integers and floats out to their IBM mainframe equivalents?
