Is there a recommended approach to doing base64 decoding from ACUCOBOL? I do have a few ideas in mind, including calling functions from either OpenSSL or MSXML. But the boss is asking for a second opinion.
Our preference would be for a shared library routine as opposed to a standalone utility. Our platforms include both Linux and Windows.
Thanks!

We have no user-callable standard routines for doing this. I believe we have some internal routines (because config variables and ActiveX resources sometimes need them). But these are not exposed as something users can call from COBOL.

How about routines implemented in COBOL? Although having some RM/COBOL specific dialect, there are routines available in an RM/COBOL Knowledgebase article attachment that will do the job.
