283	index_set returns extra radix indicator character (after numeric_to_ascii_base_ upgrade)	Gary Dixon	Eric Swenson	"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.
