Re: Remove trailing blanks

["jim essinger" <esinger@xxxxxxxx>]

Greetings!

What do you wish to do with the blanks? How do you want the information to
look when you are done with the process?

You can INSPECT the filed replaceing the blanks with a specific character,
like zeros.  Thus the '07bb' becomes '0700'.

You can create a 4 position array, Move the field to the array, process
the field backwards (starting with 4 and going to 1) and when you have
good characters (> blanks), move them to a character field that would be
redefined as a number: put the 7 in the right most position, followed by
the zero, then fill the rest with zeros.   Thus the '07bb' becomes '0070'

You can move the field using reference modification:

Move Field-Name(1:2) to Two-Length-Field

Thus the '07bb' becomes '07' in a new field.
