Hi Peter
I would simply test the leading character for the numeric portion and
shuffle along. The following example code will convert FILEnnn style file
names:
PGM PARM(&INPFILE &OUTFILE)
DCL VAR(&INPFILE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&OUTFILE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&PREFIX) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)
DCL VAR(&SUFFIX) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(3)
CHGVAR VAR(&PREFIX) VALUE(%SST(&INPFILE 1 4))
CHGVAR VAR(&SUFFIX) VALUE(%SST(&INPFILE 5 3))
IF COND(%SST(&SUFFIX 1 1) *EQ '0') THEN(CHGVAR +
VAR(&SUFFIX) VALUE(%SST(&SUFFIX 2 2)))
IF COND(%SST(&SUFFIX 1 1) *EQ '0') THEN(CHGVAR +
VAR(&SUFFIX) VALUE(%SST(&SUFFIX 2 2)))
CHGVAR VAR(&OUTFILE) VALUE(&PREFIX *TCAT &SUFFIX)
ENDPGM
Hope it helps
Jonathan

Subject: Convert Character to Decimal in CL: Trimming leading zeros
"CHGVAR VAR(&DECVAL) VALUE(&CHARVAL)"
Now that this is clear, I do not want to complicate this more but I have a
similar issue with a little variant. I have file names which suffix is a
number from 1 to 350 and I need to trim the leading zeros and then do some
additional processing. For example:
BEFORE: &CHARVAL = 'FILE001 '
AFTER: &CHARVAL = 'FILE1 '
Again, I need to do this for files 1 to 350.
Thanks
