[Info-vax] Encoding a file to base64 from COBOL?

[simonsspamfilter at gmail.com]

I am looking at a COBOL program that puts together a mime-file that is sent in a later stage. I wish to add a new part to this program that includes a .pdf-file, but run in to issues if the data isn't BASE64-encoded. I know that mime tools can encode the data from the same file to BASE64 which makes it work, but is there any way I can get around to doing this myself from a COBOL-program?
