Oh...then I'd do it this way...

D InFld         9A
D OutFld      5A
D I               2  0
D J                        Like(I)

/Free
  For I = 1 to %Len(InFld);
    If %SubSt(InFld:I:1) <> *Blanks;
      J +=1;
      %SubSt(OutFld:J:1) = %SubSt(InFld:I:1);  // Appropriate error
checking of course...
    EndIf;
  EndFor;
/End-Free

But that's just the way I think about code. I wouldn't use an array
myself because the elements of the array aren't the same in terms of
usage - they're part of a string. So I would use a string manipulation
function to do it. Then, you could make this a procedure so other
programs could use it too.
