RE: multiple search arguments in one scan?

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Dan:

If you want 'pure' RPG, perhaps changing the content of a work field is 
something you can live with (though it might confuse later maintenance). If you 
don't mind stepping outside of RPG, the are C library functions that can help. 
See the 'strpbrk' -- Find Characters in String -- function for example.

'strpbrk' locates the first occurrence in the string pointed to by string1 of 
any character from the string pointed to by string2; i.e., pass in a couple 
string pointers -- the first points to your test string, the second points to 
your list of characters -- and it returns a pointer to the first character that 
matches or a null pointer if no match.

Should implement pretty easily for you.
