Joel,
Try this bit of code which uses the %SCAN and %REPLACE built-in functions.
C Eval string = C 'String with blanks to strip'
C DoW %Scan( ' ': string ) > 0 C If %Scan( ' ': string ) > C %Len( %TrimR( string ) ) C Leave C EndIf C Eval string = C %Replace( '': string: C %Scan( ' ': string ): 1 ) C EndDo
C string Dsply
