I have one field in a file that is char 8
the data has been entered right justified
Is there a q&d way to left justify this field?
Barely quicker than both of the already suggested TRIM [SQL] and
%TRIM [RPG] builtin functions, is a "left trim" function available in
both languages; LTRIM [SQL] and %TRIML [RPG]. The TRIM functions will
look for and trim any trailing blanks.
update the_file
set the_char8_field = LTRIM(the_char8_field)
The SQL scalar function STRIP can limit the trimming to only blanks;
the LTRIM will trim either blank or hex-zero characters.
update the_file
set the_char8_field = STRIP(the_char8_field, LEADING, ' ')
