Re-define the first character position as numeric and check for the range
of integer values related to A to Z?

Subject:    [HP3000-L] Simple COBOL question


Hello,

Is there an easy way, in COBOL, to determine if the 1st character of a
string is not a letter (A-Z)?  I see how to do it "brute force", but I was
hoping for something a little more elegant.

I apologize for the newbie question, but my COBOL skills were never strong
and they're rusty besides...

TIA,
