Shari,
Hakan has provided an example of how to split the records in DCL, the command language used on OpenVMS.
Taking a second look at your posting, it occurs to me that you did not mention the language you are using. If we know the language, the answer may be clearer.

As Bob mentioned, I took for granted that a DCL command was requested........

It might also help to:
F$EDIT(string, "COMPRESS,TRIM")
before using F$ELEMENT (just in case there may be extra spaces).
