Subject: [COBOL400-L] 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
