Use the CHECKR opcode:

'   '               checkr     string          num                    99

Num will contain the position of the first non blank caracter

Is it possible to scan a string from the right in RPG?

I need to find the end of a character string that may have
embedded blanks in it.  It seems like the best way to do
that is to scan from the right for the first non-blank
character.

Any ideas?
