I think this will do the trick in play RPGLE ....
count = 0;
for i = 1 to %len(yourfield);
if %subst(yourfield:i:1) = 'W';
count += 1;
endif;
endfor;
dsply %char(count);

Find number of times a value occurs in a field
I am having a senior moment today.
I have a field of 31 bytes that can have the value "O" or "W".
I *thought* there was either a BIF or Op-Code that I could use to find the
number of times a value occured, but can not find it in the manual.
ie: if the field contained WWWWWOOWWWWWOOWWWWWOOWWWWWOOWWW,
I would like to be able to get the value 23 for the number of times the W
occurred.
All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff Young
