CHR_TRUNC

Truncate a string at a given delimiter

Description:

The given string is truncated at the first occurrence of the given delimiter character. The delimiter character and all subsequent characters are replaced by blanks. If no delimiter character is found in the string, no truncation takes place. This routine is effectively a combination of INDEX and CHR_TERM.

Arguments

DELIM = CHARACTER 1 (Given)
The truncation delimiter character.
STRING = CHARACTER ( ) (Given and Returned)
