[open-cobol-list] for i in ..... or work around?

[Patrick]

Hi Everyone

I have been working hard on my first non-trivial program.

I have 15 fields that contain numbers that I would like to convert to 
certain text via an evaluate statement.

I guess I can copy the evaluate statement 15 times and then edit the 
control variable to one of each of these fields but I can if I can avoid 
a lot of copy and paste code, that would likely be best.

I was hoping to use a statement that looks roughly like this in bash

for field1 field2 field3 ; do something $i ; done

If I could put an evaluate statement inside it, I should be able to 
avoid a big copy paste operation.

Does anyone know if this is possible or if there is a workaround?
