Actually you dont necessarily have to approach it from the back end. You could code it as: PERFORM VARYING WS-SUB-NAME FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL WS-SUB-NAME = LENGTH OF WS-NAME +1 IF WS-NAME ... |

| Hi there
In that case this piece of code may do the trick in getting the length of ws-name: WORKING-STORAGE. 01 WS-COUNTERS. 05 WS-SPACE-COUNT PIC S9(5) COMP-3. 05 WS-SUB-NAME ... |
