RE: %TrimR(%Char())

Because that's what you told it to do....

Eval by default wants to left justify character strings.  If you want this to align right, then you could use EvalR.  Varying fields could be used here too...

My turn for help...  The below code is returning a character number left
justified... Why?

d number          s              9  0 inz(5678)
d character       s              9
 /free
  character=%TrimR(%Char(number));
  *inlr=*on;
 /end-free

(after execution)
CHARACTER = '5678     '
