I am trying to create a package that will handle the conversion of
Cobol signed numerics  e.g. S999 into integer and Ada integer back
to a Cobol signed numeric, but every minute the package is becoming 
more and more complicated.

For example a Cobol variable with a picture clause of PIC S999 might
have the values 121 or -121 in it and its signed numeric value is
"12A" and "12J" respectively.  These would correspond with postive
121 and -121 in an Ada integer variable.

Cobol Signed Numeric       Ada integer
12A                            121
12J                           -121


Does anyone have suggestions on a simple way of doing 
conversions from Cobol signed numerics to Ada integer and vice versa??
