%TRIMR

[Hans Boldt <boldt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Darlene:  Others have explained the workings of EVAL and %TRIMx
quite well, so I won't try to improve on their explanations.  We do recognize
the need to easily right-adjust data in an EVAL statement.  I don't want to
make any promises at this stage of our development cycle, however, a
right-adjusting EVAL statement is on my to-do list.

Subject: %TRIMR




 LOCATION will have the value '  Toronto, Ontario'.

                  EVAL      LOCATION = %TRIMR('  Toronto, Ontario  ')


This doesn't work like it's supposed to. The result is left-justified
(with the leading blank), not right-justified. Any ideas or suggestions?
