While I voted for the RFE some time back - the use case you quote us already served via DATA-INTO which is a more versatile general approach.

I still think the BIF could be useful but it needs more options - like split every n characters maybe?

Bradley,

Excuse me if I'm intruding in your question...

A simple case would be converting a delimited string into separated fields
(eg. a .CSV file). In fact, the old SCAN Op-code was capable of this. When
IBM implemented the %SCAN BIF this was omitted. In fact, I don't if Justin
is aware of this but, for example the ABAP (SAP) programming language has
just a instruction with the same name (SPLIT) as his suggestion.

Regards,

Justin,

Can you provide a real world case for this? I'm having a hard time
understanding what it would be used for. I probably missed that thread.
:) But I am curious.
