The following I think works:
Select substr(myField, max(1,locate('0',
translate(myField,'0000000000','0123456789'))))

A script and results to better visualize:

create table qtemp.strplusdig (myfield char (20))
;
insert into qtemp.strplusdig values
('ABC123'),('ABC123DEF'),('A1B2'),('B7C45'),('ABCDEF')
;
Select substr(myField, max(1,locate('0',
translate(myField,'0000000000','0123456789'))))
from qtemp.strplusdig
;
-- results of that select:
_SUBSTR_
123
123DEF
1B2
7C45
ABCDEF
******** End of data
