Re: Right aligning text

Here is one method:
evalr     x = %CHAR(ATOI(x))   

Or if you are at V5R2
evalr     x = %Char(%INT(x))

Hey guys I have a question. I am trying to trim out some leading zeros in a
text field. The data looks like this '000000304'. I want it to look like
this '      304' so I can then do a chain on the file. What is the best or
easiest way to do this?
