Re: Scan Error.... Help..!

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don't forget to deal with the situations where NW_sascnt = *blanks and where
n<=1:

         Eval  nwcs_nm_f = *blanks
         Eval  nwcs_nm_l = *blanks
         IF    NW_sascnt <> *Blanks
    ' '  scan  NW_sascnt     n
         If    n>1
         Eval  nwcs_nm_f = %subst(NW_sascnt:1:n-1)
         Eval  nwcs_nm_l = %subst(NW_sascnt:n+1)
         End

or if you feel that doing those extra Eval's when you don't have to is
reprehensible and adding more source code isn't:

         IF    NW_sascnt <> *Blanks
    ' '  scan  NW_sascnt     n
         If    n>1
         Eval  nwcs_nm_f = %subst(NW_sascnt:1:n-1)
         Eval  nwcs_nm_l = %subst(NW_sascnt:n+1)
         else
         Eval  nwcs_nm_f = *blanks
         Eval  nwcs_nm_l = *blanks
         Endif
         else
         Eval  nwcs_nm_f = *blanks
         Eval  nwcs_nm_l = *blanks
         endif
