This program will take a string and split it into component parts using supplied delimiters. You may supply up to two split characters as this will enable both splitting the string and the removal of any character that may be present at the end of your string that you do not require.

Note 1: If the String should contain two consecutive split characters then a blank parameter would be returned.

Note 2: If the input parameters should result in more than six output components only the first six will be returned.

Note 3: If your Split character 1 [PARM2] is a Blank then this program will still work but you will need to specify in PARM3 a character that will never exist in your String.

Note 4: If you only have one split character and don't want to split on blanks then currently you would need to specify in PARM3 a character that will never exist in your String. From version 6.2.82 you can specify *NO in PARM4 and this will prevent splitting on blank characters if nothing is specified in PARM3.
