INDEX

 The INDEX function searches a string for a  specified  substring
 and  returns an integer value that either indicates the location
 of the substring or the status of the search.


 Syntax:

    INDEX( string, substring )


 INDEX requires two character-string expressions  as  parameters:
 a string to be searched and a substring to be found.

 The search ends as soon as the first occurrence of the substring
 is located.  If the substring is found, INDEX returns the string
 component that contains the first letter of the  substring.   If
 the  substring  is not found, INDEX returns the value 0.  If the
 substring is an empty string, INDEX returns the value 1.  If the
 string  to  be  searched  is  an empty string, INDEX returns the
 value 0 unless the substring is also empty; in which case, INDEX
 returns the value 1.
