Thanks to everyone that responded. It turns out that the RPG method of
reformatting the number and doing multiple chains is very fast, so we will
stick with that method for now.

The SQL statement using the REPLACE function was slower as suspected by
Charles.

The idea of creating an SQL view and stripping out the dashes is an idea
I'll keep in mind for the future. By the way, we are still on V5R3 so I
can't take advantage of some of the new SQL functionality.
