- * NAME BREAK. CMD 11-3-82 J Shea SIBAL Engineering
- * A routine that allows entering a name in full, normal order but
- * seperates the name on the blank into FNAME & LNAME. if there is
- * no space the entered name is considered the last name (LNAME),
- * if a middle initial is used it becomes part of FNAME.
-
- * Assumption: Name enters this routine as a variable called NAME
-
- * first trim off the trailing blanks since most name gathering is
- * done in a fixed length read, or get mode.
- STORE TRIM(NAME) TO NAMET
-
- * now we get the length, this is for possible later use, not needed
- * in this program. used if you wanted to eliminate spaces in a form
- * letter.
- STORE LEN(NAMET) TO LENGTH
-
- * let's find the break in the words
- STORE @(' ',NAMET) TO DEPTH
-
- * we have to check if there wasn't any. if not we assume that the name
- * is a last name. this is done so a FIND command can locate a name
- * indexed on the last name.
- IF DEPTH = 0
- * no spaces therefore a single word name entered, make it the last name
- STORE NAMET TO LNAME
- * to take care of no first name (minimizes errors!)
- STORE ' ' TO FNAME
-
- ELSE
- * we have a break and that's all we need to seperate them
- STORE $(NAMET,1,DEPTH) TO FNAME
-
- * easy huh? now we have to check the last name for a space that
- * will indicate that a middle initial or name was used.
- * first we isolate the remaiming letters and consider it the lastname
- STORE $(NAMET,DEPTH + 1) TO LNAME
-
- * now we look for more spaces just like we did for the variable NAMET
- STORE @(' ',LNAME) TO DEPTH2
-
- * any spaces?
- IF DEPTH2 > 0
- * there is another space so we break it up into LNAME & MNAME
- STORE $(LNAME,1,DEPTH2) TO MNAME
- * here comes the last name
- STORE $(LNAME,DEPTH2 + 1) TO LNAME
- * next comes the attaching of first name and middle initial or name
- STORE FNAME+MNAME TO FNAME
- * all done (If some clown insists they have four names you can repeat
- * this 'IF' for each name you want to cover!)
- * get rid of MNAME before leaving
- RELEASE MNAME
- ENDIF two spaces, middle initial
-
- ENDIF no space single word
-
- * (for demo purposes only)
- disp memo
-
- * the jobs' not done until the cleanup is
- RELEASE NAME, NAMET, DEPTH, DEPTH2
-
- * and if you don't need length add it to the above line
- RELEASE LENGTH
-
- * you exit with FNAME & LNAME ,bye bye!
