If I read the original post correctly it indicates that it is looking for
both the VM position and the SVM position.
I don't believe a single LOCATE can produce this as how would it represent
the 2 resulting values (VM position and the SVM position)?
Thus, knowing that the user is looking for a unique "D" in this multi-level
field, then the logic may be:
C=DCOUNT(LINE,CHAR(253))
SVM.POS=0
FOR MV.POS = 1 TO C
LOCATE "D" IN LINE<1,MV.POS> SETTING SVM.POS THEN EXIT
NEXT MV.POS
IF SVM.POS=0 THEN STOP "VALUE NOT FOUND"
