I need to do a count of individual words in a column which are seperated by ','. For Example if the column has value

word1, word2

the function should give me COUNT 2. Can this be achieved?

That helped but problem is I am searching for words which cannot be predefined. How would I search for the words separated by a ',' and increase count for every word encountered?

ok I used the logic of counting the seperator and then incrementing the total count by 1 and that gives me the correct total. I think it is a temp solution? Is there a more concrete way? I used this

DEFINE FUNCTION COUNT_CHARS DESCRIPTION (CHAR/A1,STRING/A4000V)
_BEFORE/I4 = ARGLEN(4000,STRING,'I4');
STRIPPED/A4000V = STRIP(4000,STRING,CHAR,'A4000V');
_AFTER/I4 = ARGLEN(4000,STRIPPED,'I4');
COUNT_CHARS/I4 = _BEFORE - _AFTER + 1;
END

As far as I know, that is about as good as it gets.

DEFINE FUNCTION COUNT_CHARS DESCRIPTION (CHAR/A1,STRING/A4000V)
_BEFORE/I4 = ARGLEN(4000,STRING,'I4');
STRIPPED/A4000V = STRIP(4000,STRING,CHAR,'A4000V');
_AFTER/I4 = ARGLEN(4000,STRIPPED,'I4');
COUNT_CHARS/I4 = _BEFORE - _AFTER + 1;
END

DEFINE FILE CAR
MYVALUES/A200='1fff,2fff,3fff,4fff,5fff,6fff,7fff,8fff,9fff,10fff,11fff,12fff';
MYCOUNT/I4=COUNT_CHARS(',', MYVALUES);
FIELD9/A50=GETTOK(MYVALUES, 200, 9, ',', 50, 'A50');
FIELD10/A50=GETTOK(MYVALUES, 200, 10, ',', 50, 'A50');
FIELD11/A50=GETTOK(MYVALUES, 200, 11, ',', 50, 'A50');
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY NOPRINT
     MYVALUES
	 MYCOUNT
	 FIELD9
	 FIELD10
	 FIELD11
-*WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END
