Word Functions

These functions supplement the string functions by modifying words or sets of words. Net.Data interprets a word as a space-delimited string, or a string with spaces on both sides. Here are some examples:

String value Number of words
one two three 3
one , two , three 5
Part 2: Internet Sales Grow 5

MBCS support for OS/390, OS/2, Windows NT, and UNIX: You can specify multiple-byte character set (MBCS) support for word and string functions with the DTW_MBMODE configuration value. Specify this value in the Net.Data initialization file; the default is no support. You can override the value in the initialization file by setting the DTW_MBMODE variable in a Net.Data macro. See the configuration variable section in Net.Data Administration and Programming Guide and DTW_MBMODE for more information.

MBCS support for OS/400: DBCS support is provided automatically and does not require this variable.

The following functions are word functions that Net.Data supports:
