The UPS function will upshift a string.
If you just want to upshift a single parm, you can use the WORD function to
extract the parm, and then UPS to upshift it.

Below is an example.

CDA9 [13]: setvar mystring "Cmd Parm1 Parm2 Parm3 Parm4"
CDA9 [14]: echo ![ups(word("!mystring",,2))]
PARM1
CDA9 [15]: setvar yourstring ups(word("!mystring",,2))
CDA9 [16]: showvar yourstring
YOURSTRING = PARM1
CDA9 [17]:

I hope this helps!
