Oooh, now that you mention that Raul, I can think of a real good way
to do it like you state.

Do the cycle program defined, read it as alpha, then do call to atol on it.
As I understand it, atol will convert both "000123" and "   123" to 123.
If there is garbage in the field, it will convert it to 0, if the first 
character
other than white space is a character, or a short number, depending on
the garbage.

Regards,

Jim Langston
