Inspect vs numeric testing.

Hello all.

I'm wondering if there is a possibility  to get first non-numeric character in 
a string replaced by f. eks. '*'?  I have checked the
INSPECT-statement without finding a solution.

MYSTRING              PIC  X(10).

The contents of MYSTRING will vary, but I know that the first positions
can be numeric, but I don't know how many.  It's the numeric part I'm
interested in bringing further...
 So I can't  just do STRING MYSTRING DELIMITED BY 'someting' INTO
something, neither can I use MOVE MYSTRING(m:n) to someting.

Any ideas?



Mvh.
