Rakesh - 

Simply code (in the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph):
     SYMBOLIC CHARACTERS MY-SEPARATOR IS 29. 

You can then "MOVE MY-SEPARATOR TO ..." to move a X'1C'(decimal 28) to any 1
byte alphanumeric receiving field.

Note that SYMBOLIC CHARACTER are ordinal numbers and are 1 greater than
their ASCII equivalent (see
http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/doc3k/B3150090014.11950/8).

Regards.

Glenn

Subject: [HP3000-L] ASCII decimal 28 as delimeter in COBOL.

Hello Sir/Madam,

We want to use ASCII value of decimal 28 as a data separator while writing a
data file in COBOL.

Please give us the source code so that we can try it from our side.
Your help is very much appreciated.
 
Regards
Rakesh.
