Re: %TrimR(%Char())

<What do you want the end result of the operation to be?>
Right justified, I'll try EvalR, but I was under the impression that Eval in
Free Format was unnecessary unless you need an Eval(extension) - %Char
doesn't right justify.

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

d number s 9 0 inz(5678)
d character s 9

character=%TrimR(%Char(number));
*inlr=*on;
/end-free

(after execution)
CHARACTER = '5678 '

Because you're trimming blanks off the right and the character field is
fixed length.

Actually, I'm unsure if the %trimr is necessary ... *I THINK* %char returns
the value left justified.

What do you want the end result of the operation to be?
