        I'm currently working on a small assembler project, and am faced
with the following problem:


        Being passed a list of EBCDIC character representations of hexadecimal
addresses, I must sort them into collating sequence. Unfortunately, EBCDIC
A - F collates *before* 0 - 9, but in true hex, it collates *after*. Has
anyone written a small subroutine that can maybe check for the validity of
the passes arguments ( 0-9,A-F ), and use some form of TR, TRT, CLI, ...etc
to get them into a form that collates properly ? I just *know* this has been
done before, I just can't find any examples at the moment. I'm sure I can
cobble something together, but it may not be pretty. Any suggestions ?

        I am not currently subscribed to the list, so please send mail to me
directly. I will summarize the responses and post them to the list later.

        Thanks for any help you can offer.
