Equivalent of SCAN (as in RPG) in COBOL/400

HI , 
 
     Can anybody help me out with this - my reqmt. is to search for the 
occurence of a string (more than 1 character) in a variable and if the string 
occurs then get the position of occurence in the variable
In RPG one can use SCAN to know whether the string is found in the variable as 
well as get starting position of the occurence. What is the equivalent keyword 
in COBOL/400 . I believe INSPECT only says whether the string occurs or not - 
it doesn't give the starting position of occurence of the string. 
 
Please suggest.
 
Thanks
