Hi David,

Bob is right. Lets enhance the FIELD function to accept a string delimiter
and not just a single character.

A nice idea but it has to be a new function because FIELD() is defined as using only the first character of the supplied delimiter.

Because an enhancement such as this is unlikely to appear in time to resolve the original poster's problem, it should be possible to work around the issue by replacing all of the multi-character delimiters with some single character that would never appear in the data and then using FIELD() with this as the delimiter.

I cannot remember whether Unidata supports CHANGE() in I-types. For some strange reason UniVerse does not.
