Here is a good one for someone.

Using cobol to generate a rpt.  Want to test the 11th item in an array.
(occurs 42 times).

But I want to test the 3rd character of that field to see if it is numeric
or not.  Normally I would do:  FIELD(3:1), but I have to look at the array
now.

I tried FIELD(11)(3:1).  Error.
also tried FIELD(11),(3:1).  Error.

Any advice out there ?

Yes I can move it to a working storage area and test it there, but I should
be able to do it with one command.
