madisand,

Your output pattern is not consistent.

ex:
input = mvsforums

output = mvsforums

Technically the output should only be M as you need to pick the first byte of the string before a space.

try this code

Code:

01 W-INP-STR           PIC X(50).
01 W-OUT-STR.                   
   05 W-STR1           PIC X(01).
   05 W-STR2           PIC X(49).

MOVE 'mvs forums com new'   TO  W-INP-STR

INSPECT W-INP-STR REPLACING FIRST ' ' BY ')'

UNSTRING W-INP-STR DELIMITED BY  ')'         
    INTO W-STR1, W-STR2                     

DISPLAY W-OUT-STR                           


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
