is there a specific reason why you want to use Movel for this, you can do it that way but it is more complex to code than a simple substring check if %substr(string,1,1) = '@'.......

If you have to use movel, (and you shouldn’t have to), then do a movel to a 1 character field and check it for the @ sign.

movel ‘@yahoo’ 1char
if 1char = ‘@’
– do something
