ILBOSTG

ILBOSTG is a COBOL library routine that moves one or more data items into contiguous positions in a specified receiving field following the rules for the STRING verb.

ILBOSTG is called by compiled code and calls ILBOCVB (Binary to Decimal) and ILBOACS (Comparison with Alternate Collating Sequence).

Hints

CPU time in ILBOSTG can be high. Use individual MOVE statements where possible. They use less CPU time than the STRING routine.
