If myString1 <> *all'0';

Else;
myString2 = *blanks;

Subject: Help to extract a numeric value from string

Hello list,

I have a field that is string of 22 positions with a value of
0000317982.
I need to trim the zeros on the left to have only the value of 317982
and move it to another string field.

I have tried to convert it to numeric but it gives me leading blanks "
317982000000000000".

Any help would be appreciated.
