You can use %SCAN (my preference). 
Also, if you don't use that variable POO@#K except for this, you can
eliminate it.


If %scan('ABCDE' : %SUBST(BDGXX:5:1)) = 0; 
// it's not valid - send your message here
Endif;

Subject: validating

Hi
       In the below code:
                 EVAL      POO@#K = *BLANKS
                 EVAL      POO@#K = %SUBST(BDGXX:5:1)
Iam extracting 5th position  of BDGXX, now i want to validate this with
one of 5 values A B C D E.
When User enters anything other than that of  these 5 values it should
display a message in displayfile saying that "valid values are A,B,C,D,E
only"...
Please suggest various good ways to implement in RPGLE(not in display
file)....




Warm Regards,
JoeP
