Re: Scanning from the right

[Richard Baird <rbbaird@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

look at the CHECKR opcode. With a search argument of ' ', it checks
for the first position that DOESN'T contain the search argument.

also, in rpgiv, %len(%trim(field)) will return the last non-blank
position in a string.

hth,

Rick
