FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working

Question

Hi,
I have a statement:
FIND '/' IN <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn MATCH OFFSET off2.
this works in all the case except for when <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn = SSULTANA-VMC/.
(i.e. when /bic/zbib_sysn = USERID-VMC/, here SSULTANA is the user ID)
*In this case off2 = .
Value of sy-subrc is 0 after this statement is executed
Can some one please point out what I am doing wrong.
Thank you,
CD

>FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working  
Most unlikely.  More likely is that it isn't doing what you think it should be doing.  Or you're using it incorrectly!
I can't really follow what your problem is.  I assume you mean that you are getting off2 with value 0, when /bic/zbib_sysn contains USERID-VMC/
Can you be a little clearer in what the issue is?
DATA: off2 TYPE i.
FIND '/' IN 'this string /' MATCH OFFSET off2.
WRITE: / sy-subrc, off2.
This little program returns 0 and 12
