donateeye,
your code presupposes the knowledge of the first word in the string.
My interpretation of Sundardudos's requirement is:
find the position of the second word in any string,
I find that enrico's solutions provide that info
Actually, they provide a complete answer to an unasked question:
what are the starting and ending positions of all words in a string.
If Sundardudos only wants to know the attributes of the second word,
he can modify enrico's code.
using your code, you would have to add a routine to run previous that
would extract the first word.
Now, analyzing the complete string (all the words),
is something that is often done -
but, if for some reason, the TS only wants the 2nd,
truncating enrico's code will provide the info. |

Hi Robert

| Why doesn't anyone mention "VERIFY", now with the option of starting in the middle of the string? |
because the manual version I was looking at did not have the 3 args version
and I would have had anyway to use a trick  |

Yes, Sundarkudos has clear said
If the first word in the source is xxxxxx then...
which clearly means that he should be aware of the first word...
considering that, the code just needs to find only the starting position of the second word.
Interesting is that, the man who started this topic is no where here to read all the suggestions and codes for him.... |

donateeye,
you are pounding sand.
one assumes the program is to handle more than one input,
thus the first word is not always known.
enrico and the other seniors do not write code for simple accept/display cobol programs.
their examples are an attempt to drag those
with little experience
out of the dark chasm of ignorance that they seem to reside
and provide insight to the world of professional programming. |
