I recently used the following logic to approach a similar problem:
Using 3 subscripts, sub, suba and sub b.
I move the value I am searching for, "JOHN" in your example, into a
variable REPLACE-IT (PIC X(30)) and the string I am looking for the
value in into SRCDTA-80 (PIC x(80)), then do the following:
MOVE ZEROS to FOUND-IT
Perform 2420-inspect-it thru 2420-exit
Varying sub from 1 by 1 until sub > 30.
2420-inspect-it.
compute suba = 30 - sub.
compute subB = sub - 1.
if replace-it(sub:suba) = spaces
INSPECT SRCDTA-80 TALLYING FOUND-IT
FOR ALL REPLACE-IT (1:subB)
move 31 to sub
end-if.
2420-EXIT.
EXIT.
The routine removes the trailing spaces from the variable replace-it and
then looks for that variable in the string SRCDTA-80. If the variable
FOUND-IT (PIC S9(3)) has a value greater than zero, then REPLACE-IT was
found in SRCDTA-80.

subject: [COBOL400-L] Green-screen search argument
Good morning,
Suppose in a subfile app I want to list only the entries that contain a
specific string value and filter out all others. For example, I want to
list only the customers that have "JOHN" in their name.
The search-argument is "JOHN" and the application needs to display "JOHN
SMITH", "BIG-JOHN", "SALLY JOHNSON". Suppose the Customer Name is 30
bytes long. How do I construct an INSPECT operation so that it looks at
the customer name for the string "JOHN" without including the 26 blanks?
Cheers. -- Jay

Terry,
According to IBM's documentation, maximum length of field-to-be-scanned
(parameter 1) is 999. Got that.
What is the maximum length of the pattern argument (parameter 4)?
Thanks -- Jay

Jay,
This is a copy of the working-storage area that I use.
Since it's a pointer to a character string, I use the
same length as the charaacter-string being scanned.
Since the pattern length cannot be longer than
the string being scanned it standsto reason that the
character-pattern must be <= the string size (IMO).
Hope this helps
Terry

subject: [COBOL400-L] Conversion of numeric data to character format?
Dear COBOL experts,
Is there any equivalent of the following in COBOL, or an easier way to
do it than fooling around with numeric-edited fields?
CustNbr is a 6-digit signed (USAGE IS DISPLAY) field. I want to put the
Customer Number (CustNbr) into message data (MessageData) to pass to the
QMHSNDPM API. If the customer number is 123,and I do the following using
free-format RPG-IV,
MessageData = %char( CustNbr );
the input is 000123 and the output would be 123 (left-justified and
all). The message looks like Customer Number 123 is not on file.
The only way I know how to do this in COBOL results in
Customer Number 123 is not on file.
Cheers -- Jay
