bsearch on partial array elements -- RPG400-L

I have an RPG IV program in which I am using 'bsearch' to search a number of
arrays, which is working fine (and quickly too !). However, one of the arrays is
defined with an element length of 37A, but I want to search it by the first 30
bytes only.
The trailing 7 bytes of the array elements will not contain blanks, so I assume
that the bsearch routine will not work correctly when comparing 30A to 37A.

Any ideas how I can get round this without creating more arrays ?

TIA,
Dave Biggs
