Code example to parse character string with space delimiter
The code below gives an example of how to process elements of a
character variable or database field that are separated by a space
rather than a comma.
In other words, given a variable with "Red Green Blue" together, the
goal is to process each of "Red", "Green", and "Blue" separately.
DEF VAR x AS CHAR INIT "Red Green Blue".
DEF VAR i AS INT.
DO i = 1 TO NUM-ENTRIES(x, " "):
MESSAGE ENTRY(i,x," ") VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
END.
Consult the Language Reference for more information on the NUM-ENTRIES
and ENTRY functions.
