Rob;

dspInvoiceNbr = %TrimL(invoiceNbr : ' 0'); // includes both space and zero.

This is available at V5R4 I believe.

Subject: Zero suppress a character field for display...

Hi all,

This should be quick. I have a character field

d invoiceNbr s 9a

which may hold '001234567'. The user wants to see the invoice number with leading zeroes suppressed so '1234567'.

My first thought is
/free
dspInvoiceNbr = %Char(%Dec(invoiceNbr: 9: 0)); /end-free

Is there a better method or is this about as good as any other method?

Thanks,

Rob
