The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Consider that such naming does not provide for "ordered" names. At
least not according to the numerical ascent. An example of such a list:
A1
A10
A100
A101
A102
A11
A110
A111
A12
A2
REXX is a much better choice for such string handling, but a CLP
subroutine can replace any '0' with ' ' in a loop starting from the
first position, and the result string can be *TCAT as the suffix.
stripzero: subr stripzero /* Input &sfx ; e.g. *char 10 */
chgvar &pos 1
dowhile (&pos *le &maxlen) /* &sfx max length; e.g. 10 */
if (%sst(&sfx &pos 1) *eq '0') then( +
chgvar (%sst(&sfx &pos 1)) ' ' )
else leave
chgvar &pos (&pos + 1)
enddo
endsubr
