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.
By digits and spaces I'll assume that you mean that and therefore it has no decimals, commas, etc.
By padded I'll assume you mean padded on the left and the field is right justified. But it may not matter.
Then perhaps your only problem is that you want one result for ' 0120' and ' 120' and not a separate result for each.
create table qtemp.jhhl
(mychar char(10));
insert into qtemp.jhhl (mychar) values(' 0120');
insert into qtemp.jhhl (mychar) values(' 120');
insert into qtemp.jhhl (mychar) values(' 73');
select distinct(cast(trim(mychar) as integer))
from qtemp.jhhl
order by 1;
returns 73, 120.
