Answer / yachna
There is only one difference between Scan & Substr..Just look at below example
eg. String = rajesh chauhan
If we want first four letter of the string then we can use Substr function here not scan..Scan function can pick first word.
SubName=Substr(String,1,4);
ScanName=Scan(String,1,' ');
Subname = raje
ScanName=rajesh
