I have a function, called as follows:

CALL split_string(str, delimstr, returns, strict) RETURNING stat, strpart1, 
strpart2....

WHERE:

str  - String you want to break up
delimstr  - Delimiter string
returns   - Integer indicating how many STRING variables you want returned.
strict    - Boolean TRUE/FALSE. When true, the function returns a stat of -1 
if the
        string to split does not contain EXACTLY returns sub-strings in it.

On the return side, stat is always returned along with the number of strings 
requested.

I will did it out if anyone is interested.

By popular demand,

here is the string splitting function that I use.

Usage
call split_string(src, delim, return, strict) returning stat, str1..strn

src      - Is string to split, max 5k
delim - Field separator
return - No. of strings to return (max).
strict   - Set status to -ve value if the no. of strings in src is not the 
same as return.

Note: Get rid of any bugs yourself! Only kidding.
