External routine access

Is there a way, preferably from QUIZ, to call an external routine pass it a
value,
have it do a calculation and return a result that is reported on as if it
were
defined within the QUIZ report?

I have COBOL routine which converts a liner metric measure to feet and
inches
including fractional inches to a text string.  I would rather not have to
rewrite this
in QUIZ.  If somebody has already done that I would be interested in seeing
it.
