VMS Help Lexicals, F$LOCATE, Return Value *Conan The Librarian |
An integer value representing the offset of the substring
argument. An offset is the position of a character or a substring
relative to the beginning of the string. The first character in
a string is always offset position 0 from the beginning of the
string (which always begins at the leftmost character).
If the substring is not found, the F$LOCATE function returns
an offset of the last character in the character string plus 1.
(This equals the length of the string.)
