  Here is what I've done in the past. You may have to adjust the sget and sloc 
depending on how the names are set.

  CLE ALL VAR
 
  SET VAR VFullName = ('Doe, John E.')
 
  SET VAR VLastNameEnds = (SLOC(.VFullName,','))
  SET VAR VLastName = (SGET(.VFullName,((SLOC(.VFullName,','))-1),1))
  SET VAR VFirstMid = (SGET(.VFullName,45,((SLOC(.VFullName,','))+2)))
  SET VAR VFirstName = (SGET(.VFirstMid,((SLOC(.VFirstMid,' '))-1),1))
  SET VAR VMiddle = (SGET(.VFirstMid,45,((SLOC(.VFirstMid,' '))+1)))
  CLE ALL VAR EXCEPT VLastName,VFirstName,VMiddle
  SHO VAR

        I've searched through my email posts. I thought someone had submitted a nice 
        snippet of code that 
        bascically took a single name column and was able to split it into two or 
        three seperate columns with first, middle, and last names. 

        Maybe it was a dream. Can't seem to get my head around a bunch of STRIM's 
        and IFEQ's.
