Name Parse

["bill totz" <robsurge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello List

We have been given the unfortunate task of parsing a non standard naming 
format and breaking it down into the serparte parts of first middle last and 
surname (if one is present.)

The name field is a 40 byte field formatted "LAST SUR/FIRST MID/"

I basically just want 4 fields back containing the first middle last and 
surname(if present).

We are attempting to accomplish this by moving the string into an array, and 
using an index to count through the array a byte at a time and setting 
indicators when certain conditions are met, such as a blank, or a '/'. 
However, my partner and I are incredibly new to the RPG world, and are 
getting lost in the complexity of writing this routine. We are devout 
followers of this list and would appreciate any available help, so that we 
can keep our jobs. :)
