[open-cobol-list] UNSTRING to array?

[Bruce M. Axtens]

I get the impression that I'm going about this the wrong way.

I have a list of comma-delimited values:

01    list            pic x(85)
    value "123,12345,1234567,987654321,10001,-10001,-123,-100,100,-12345,1,2,-1,-10,2002,-2002,0".

I have an array with enough room for each of the values and a little left over:

01    paramarray.
    03    param pic s9(9) occurs 20 times indexed by paramitem.

I'm unstringing into the paramarray.

    unstring list delimited by "," into paramarray.

The first value goes in okay, but the rest is gobbledygook.

How should I approach this?

Kind regards,
Bruce.
