Re: how to copy fields without leading zeros

Since V5R3 10 years ago, you can specify the character(s) to trim in RPG.
For example, newBadgeId = %TRIML(badgeId:'0 ') will trim leading zeros and
spaces.

HI I have to create a file based on employee badge info.

there is name and dept 40 characters each.

the badge id is 3 but they want the PF to hold 8 for futures.

when I created the field as 8 character, it adds leading zeros so I made
the field numeric 8S 00 but they want it to be character.

Any ideas how to copy without throwing in the leading zeros? I think an RPG
program would be the way but is there any way in a CL or Command?
