Thanks all! It's been working for over a week now <g>.
It's one DISPLAY statement in a 200-line test program, and hopefully it's
about the last COBOL program I have to write, so hopefully the way I did it
(per the first suggestion received here) is good enough.
The below example is more or less the way I was trying to do it before I
gave up and asked the question. My COBOL education stopped in about 1980*
and so I was vaguely familiar with OCCURS DEPENDING but not the (from : to)
substring function.
