cobolStatement

For more information on the allowable contents of this type of statement, refer to the COBOL Language Reference manual. The contents of the cobolStatement can include any combination of text, variable references, or label references. Any text will be included as is, with no translation or case conversion. Any variable referenced must be a local EGL variable within the same EGL program. You may not reference a variable in another program or library. All variable references are preceded by a colon (:) to indicate that the following text is to be considered a variable that needs to be resolved. Any label referenced must be for an EGL label in the same function. You may not reference a label in another function. All label references are preceded by a percent sign (%) to indicate that the following text is to be considered a label that needs to be resolved.

$MyName char(20) = "MYEGL";
    $NameLength smallInt;
    $LowerName char(20);
    function main()

        $tempVariable1 char(20);
        execute #cobol{ MOVE FUNCTION LOWER-CASE(  :$MyName) TO :$tempVariable1};


        
        $LowerName = $tempVariable1;

        Syslib.writeStdout("LOWER-CASE('" + $MyName + "') = " + $LowerName);

    end
