RE:

Hi Kiran,

With RPG (III or IV) you can use the SCAN opcode.  In the following code
"Find" is the string you wish to search for, "W" is the length of the
string, and #Data" is the string you want to search through.  "FoundPos" is
an array of numeric positions that are returned to you on successful scans.
The array is needed because the string could exist multiple times in the
same string.  Indicator 75 turns on for a successful find.  For example:

  *                                                                      
  ***     Find matching string in the data, if "Find" requested.         
  *                                                                      
 C                   IF        Find <> *BLANKS                       
 C     Find:W        SCAN      #Data         FoundPos                 75
 C                   ENDIF

Hope this helps,
