        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.

         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?
