/**
* The LOCATE function returns the position of a given string within a string, starting the
* search at a specified position. It returns the first position at which the string was found as an
* integer. The first argument is the string to be located; the second argument is the string to be
* searched; the optional third argument is an integer that represents the string position at which
* the search is started (by default, the beginning of the string to be searched). The first
* position in a string is denoted by 1. If the string is not found, 0 is returned. The LOCATE
* function returns the length of the string in characters as an integer.
*
