Re: strtok and consecutive delimiters

Hello all, I have a procedure in a service pgm that uses the strtok
function. I am trying to figure out how to handle consecutive delimiters. I
attended a session with Jon Paris  that had a handout the Power of
Prototyping. In the session we talked about using the function. I remember
him saying with slight modification the code could handle consecutive
delimiters. Does anyone know how handle the multiple delimiter issue??

The second parameter to "strtok()" is a character string consisting of the delimiter characters. If the parameter is defined as

* VALUE OPTIONS(*STRING)

then multiple delimiters should work just as easily as a single delimiter. (And I see no reason why that parameter shouldn't be prototyped that way to begin with!)

Cheers! Hans
