Answer / mayank rastogi
Use following code: It'll work
MOVE 'I N D I A' TO WS-NAME.
UNSTRING WS-NAME DELIMITED BY ' '
INTO WS-CHAR1, WS-CHAR2, WS-CHAR3, WS-CHAR4, WS-CHAR5.
STRING WS-CHAR1, WS-CHAR2, WS-CHAR3, WS-CHAR4, WS-CHAR5
DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO WS-NAME1.
ws-name1 is the new variable that will contain INDIA
without any spaces

Answer / uday
Through reference modification we can acheive and it is the
best way.
In Working storage section
01 ws-india pic x(10) value ' I N D I A '
01 ws-india-f pic x(05).
In procedure division
Perform varying ws-i from 1 by 1 until wi-i > 20
If ws-india(ws-i:1) = spaces
continue
Else
move ws-india(ws-i:1)to ws-india-f
End-if
End-perform

Answer / arpan
Probably you can write SPACES instead of ' ' in the
UNSTRING statement.
UNSTRING WS-NAME DELIMITED BY SPACES
INTO WS-CHAR1, WS-CHAR2, WS-CHAR3, WS-CHAR4, WS-CHAR5.
STRING WS-CHAR1, WS-CHAR2, WS-CHAR3, WS-CHAR4, WS-CHAR5
DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO WS-NAME1.
