index_set returns extra radix indicator character (after numeric_to_ascii_base_ upgrade)

[Gary Dixon]

numeric_to_ascii_base_ will soon have a revised calling sequence:

depd numeric_to_ascii_base_
dcl  numeric_to_ascii_base_ entry (float dec(59), fixed bin, fixed bin) 
       returns(char(72) var);

The pending change will lengthen its return value:

depd numeric_to_ascii_base_
dcl  numeric_to_ascii_base_ entry (float dec(59), fixed bin, fixed bin) 
       returns(char(256) var);

index_set.pl1 needs to be changed to use this revised calling sequence. And data returned by the revised numeric_to_ascii_base_ will include a radix indicator added to all non-decimal return strings. So code in the existing index_set needs to stop adding its own radix indicator. Otherwise, its generated non-decimal integers will end with two radix indicator letters.

MCR10118 corrected these problems.
