Is the "IF" condition not working for you?
Option 2:
If there is a problem because of the trailing spaces in the string
INSPECT IP-STR1 TALLYING TRAILING-SPACES-COUNT FOR TRAILING SPACES
LEN-OF-STR1 = LENGTH(IP-STR1) - TRAILING-SPACES-COUNT
INSPECT IP-STR2 TALLYING TRAILING-SPACES-COUNT FOR TRAILING SPACES
LEN-OF-STR2 = LENGTH(IP-STR2) - TRAILING-SPACES-COUNT
IF IP-STR1(1:LEN-OF-STR1) = IP-STR2(1:LEN-OF-STR2)
DISPLAY "MATCH FOUND"
ELSE
DISPLAY "NO MATCH"
END-IF
Please correct me if I am wrong. |
