HEHE...I tried James Rick & Rick James.  You will still have the same
issue with those.  Guess they have no way to tell either.... 


Thanks,

Subject: **SPAM** Re: Name Parsing w/RPGLE

Thanks for all the responses however I have no control of what the
vendor 
is passing and they stated they will not change it...

I have written other parsers for names however its always Last, First
and 
sometimes a prefix or Sr/Jr...

Its actually funny because I have had staff that look at the files we
get 
from the vendor and can not determine the first and last name......
just 
like James Rick....!

Well thanks for the comments I have seen some webservices available to
do 
this however would love to figure out how they are doing it....

Like this service...
