FIX:
To split a string out in to separate strings (words) where each string (word) is delimited by a space, use code similar to the following:
DEFINE VARIABLE iNumEntries AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE iLoop AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN iNumEntries = NUM-ENTRIES(SomeString," ").
DO iLoop = 1 TO iNumEntries:
MESSAGE ENTRY(iLoop,SomeString," ") VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
END.
