Details

The DQEXTTOKENPUT function enables you to insert a new value that is associated with a specified token into an extracted value. If a value exists for that token in the input value, the new value is inserted before the existing value. The existing value is retained.
You can specify a variable name for the value of extraction-char, and then assign the return value from DQEXTTOKENPUT to the same variable.
