RE: Incrementing An Alpha Value In CL

From: Jonathan Mason

Have a string of 27 alpha characters, A to Z followed by another A and
then
use QCLSCAN to find the position matching the current character from your
member name. Increment that position by one to find the next character in
the sequence. The following CL source shows an example:

I missed the fact that it was just a single character. I like the
auto-wrap, and as long as you're not worried about bad data or overflow this
would work quite nicely. The QCLSCAN API isn't as intuitive as the %SCAN
BIF, but it works just fine!
