Details

This action parses the name information in the first line of an address superfield.

The action parses the value of the full name into the Last, First, and MiddleName/Initial fields that are specified by the parameter. In the absence of any explicit pattern, such as a punctuation mark or a middle initial, parsing defaults to First Middle Last. A parameter value of -1 in the argument changes this default in the absence of any explicit pattern to Last First.

Example:

For form fields where the instructions specify First Middle Last:

ParseLastFirstIniNames(8plname,8pfname,8pminit)

For form fields where the instructions specify Last First Middle:

ParseLastFirstIniNames(17RelLNam,17RelFNam,17RelMini,
17RelCred,17RelSufx,-1)
