Dear Experts

Please check this

	A=STRTRAN('KHALID','ALI','123 ')
	MESSAGEBOX(A)

it replace ALI as

KH123D

I do not need it, it must search word ALI as whole word as

NASIR ALI

In above case it must replace ALI with 123

Why it is picking up word ALI from a complete string KHALID

What other function should I use?

Please help
