First off, although HP3000 COBOLII allows for macro substitutions, I don't
know of any cobol on other OS'S that do this. Maybe it is a trade off for
the fact that HP3000 CobolII does not have a functioning REPORT WRITER that
is available in ANSI COBOL.

On to perl, maybe you should explore MODULES to accomplish substations or
maybe just sub's. also there is the ever powerful regular expression. I am
sure that using some or all of these one can produce the expected results.

Subject: [HP3000-L] macro substitutions in Perl/iX


Hello-

COBOL allows for macro substitutions, and I'm wondering if the same
functionality is present in Perl?  If so, where in the perl documentation
can I find it?  Thanks as usual for any help.
