I have been using COBOL on UNIX since about 1979, and have had the luxury of the 'STRING' command. Since converting the the unix-pc, and running the ATT supplied COBOL, I have been forced to go without it. I need some help in converting the STRING statement into something this COBOL will honor. I use it to tie together the first and last names of customers, the city, state, and zip of addresses, etc. Example follows: STRING identifier-1, identifier-2, ... INTO identifier-a, DELIMITED BY SIZE. I would really appreciate some help on this since old habits keep me from seeing the light. -- ========================================================================== Disclaimer: are you kidding?
