Search a character expression for a string, specific character, or word:INDEX/INDEXC Functions

Choose appropriate INDEX function to find target strings, individual letters, or strings on word boundaries.

Note:
Sample 1 uses INDEX to search for the first occurrence of a 'word' anywhere in a string. If the string is not found, the result is zero.

Sample 2 uses INDEXC to locate the first occurence of any character specified in the excerpt. If no target is found, the result is zero.**

Sample 3 uses INDEXW to find the target excerpt in a string on a word boundary. If the word is not found, the result is zero.






RESULTS:

Sample 1: INDEX



Sample 2: INDEXC



Sample 3: INDEXW

    INFILE XPF;
    INPUT @1 IND1 $CHAR3.

    IF IND1='BAR' THEN DO;
    IF IND2='64' THEN DO;
    INPUT @26 TKTNO $CHAR13.
    @26 PRIMTKT $CHAR15.
    @14 DTEISS $CHAR11.
