RE: Deleting blanks in a field

Here is a solution using %SCAN and %REPLACE that works.

  * Before EVAL, XXA12 has the value '2001 01 28  '
 * After  EVAL, XXA12 has the value '20010128    '
C                   Z-ADD     *ZERO         XC                3 0
C                   MOVE      '2001 01 28  'XXA12            12
C*
C* Scan for the value ' '. If found remove the ' '.
C*
C                   EVAL      XC = 1
C*
C                   DOW       XC > *ZERO AND XC < %LEN(XXA12)
C                   EVAL      XC  = %SCAN(' ':XXA12:XC)
Note that there is ONE blank between the two apostrophes %SCAN(' ':
C                   IF        XC  <> *ZERO
C                   EVAL      XXA12 = %REPLACE('':XXA12:XC:+1)    Note that
there is NO blank between the two apostrophes %REPLACE('':
C                   EVAL      XC = XC + 1
C                   ENDIF
C*
C                   ENDDO
C*
C                   SETON                                        LR
