I have attached a classlibrary called sdsstrings which may do the parsing you require.

I have no idea who wrote this library otherwise I would definitely give credit.

This is how I use it:

loNameParser=NEWOBJECT('utlnames','sdsstrings')
loNameParser.setformatnames_on()

m.fullname=source.fullname
m.first=loNameParser.returnfirstname(m.fullname)
m.middlename=loNameParser.returnmiddlename(m.fullname)
m.last=loNameParser.returnlastname(m.fullname)
m.suffix=loNameParser.returnsuffix(m.fullname)
