You have SUPRTOOL?  That would be much easier!

Subject: Fun with COBOL

Greetings,

It's been a long time since I wrote COBOL, and I have an elementary question
about creating a comma-delimited file.

If I want...

"item one", "item two","","","item three"

How do I create the "," between item one and item two?  Is it simply PIC
"","" (quote comma quote inside double quotes?)

And the ","",""," would it be the same?  Just put that inside double quotes?

Something tells me that there is an escape sequence, but the mind is not
cooperating.

Thanks,

Ernie
