Hello folks, i'm back on the COBOL train after a few months of another project.

I'm feeling rusty. Please help.

I have this entry in a CSV.

I want to extract the number 19 and store it as an integer in a file.

What's the best way to do this???

01 wmyvar pic x(100)
01 A pic x(100)
01 B pic x(100)

move "https://www.site.com/brands/shoes,19" to wmyvar
unstring wmyvar delimited by ", into A B
