Hi
Please try out the code below. (I didn't test the code, correct me if I am wrong)
INSPECT FUNCTION REVERSE(TEXT1) TALLYING
L FOR LEADING SPACE
compute l = length of text1 - l
if l > 3
subtract 3 from l
move text1(l:3) to new_char
else
move text1 to new_char
end-if
regards

You can as well try the following code to get the last three chars.
WS-VAR((LENGTH OF WS-VAR-3):3)
Hope this meets your requiement. |

Three lines solution:
1 line in WORKING-STORAGE SECTION:
| Code: |
| 01 WS-VAR PIC X(20) JUST RIGHT. |
2 lines in PROCEDURE DIVISION:
| Code: |
UNSTRING VSAM-FIELD DELIMITED BY ALL ' ' INTO WS-VAR
MOVE WS-VAR(18:3) TO HERE-IT-IS |

If WS-VAR is the VSAM field then the following code will get you the last three chars of that field.
WS-VAR((LENGTH OF WS-VAR-3):3)
If you still have doubts please post your doubts again |

Consider the follwoing:
77 WS-VAR PIC X(20) VALUE SPACES.
MOVE 'VAMSI KRISHNA' TO WS-VAR.
LENGHT OF WA-VAR RETURNS 20 ONLY BUT NOT 13.
Similarly in ur case WS-VAR((LENGTH OF WS-VAR-3):3) will return spaces only but nor HNA.
Hope u got what i mean.

You are right Vamshi I did not pay attentio to the non space aspect.
Yes you have unstring the VSAM field into WS-VAR delimited by space and then only you can use this |
