What you are want is a tokenizer.  Here is a greate sample of one from Scott 
Klement, http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200408/msg00372.html

Is there any function to split a string into Array?

Something Like Array = SPLIT('abc,def,lkm':',') 

Thanks

If you know, you want to fill 5 * into one field, why not simply:
MyField = '*****';

If you don't want to use this, you can use the solutions you already got.

If you are already on release V5R3M0, you also can use the SQL Scalar
Function REPEAT:
C/EXEC SQL  :MyField = Repeat('*', 5)
C/END-EXEC

I could not understand this, is this a RPG 400 Function ?

How can I use this to print '*' 5 times.

A single line of code will be appreciated, please.

Best Regards,

Luqman

*ALL..

*ALL'x..'
Character/numeric fields: Character string x . . is cyclically repeated
to a
length equal to the associated field. If the field is a numeric field,
all
characters within the string must be numeric (0 through 9). No sign or
decimal point can be specified when *ALL'x..' is used as a numeric
constant.
Note: You cannot use *ALL'x..' with numeric fields of float format.
Note: For numeric integer or unsigned fields, the value is never greater
than the maximum value allowed for the corresponding field. For
example, *ALL'95' represents the value 9595 if the corresponding
field is a 5-digit integer field, since 95959 is greater than the
maximum value allowed for a 5-digit signed integer.
Constants
*ALLG'oK1K2i'
Graphic fields: The graphic string K1K2 is cyclically repeated to a
length
equal to the associated field.
*ALLU'XxxxYyyy'
UCS-2 fields: A figurative constant of the form *ALLU'XxxxYyyy'
indicates
a literal of the form 'XxxxYyyyXxxxYyyy...' with a length determined by
the length of the field associated with the *ALLU'XxxxYyyy' constant.
Each
double-byte character in the constant is represented by four hexadecimal
digits. For example, *ALLU'0041' represents a string of repeated UCS-2
'A's.
*ALLX'x1..'
Character fields: The hexadecimal literal X'x1..' is cyclically repeated
to a
length equal to the associated field.
*NULL
A null value valid for basing pointers or procedure pointers
*ON/*OFF
*ON is all ones ('1' or X'F1'). *OFF is all zeros ('0' or X'F0'). Both
are only
valid for character fields.
