Re: Help with Inspect or examine

You could use the inspect statement to find it
Count the number of characters before "Additional Instructions" and if > 0, then you found it

Subject: [COBOL400-L] Help with Inspect or examine
I have an MQ record coming in to my program. The record is 23400 bytes. There can be comments and then something from a front-end form called "additional instructions".. I need to find The words --------------Additional Instructions-- and take a seperate logic path from regular comments which may be before or after these 2 special words. 

 Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks.

 Mike
