The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
According to the RPGLE V5R4 manual %scan can not return an array of
characters found.

Note: Unlike the SCAN operation code, %SCAN cannot return an array
containing all occurrences of the search string and its results cannot
be tested using the %FOUND built-in function.

Hi, David:
The SCAN opcode, or even better, the $scan BIF, can return an array of
every position where the search argument was found. So, you can "scan"
for the ";" and get an array of integers containing the positions of
each ";". Then it is an easy matter to loop through this array, and
dsubstring the results to where ever your program wants them.
