Which brings up a question.  do using nested bifs give us a performance
hit?

ie.  %trim() inside of %scan(), inside of %replace().  just string handling
bifs?  what about other bifs?

inquiring minds do!

---my original message---
D fld             s             30    inz('frank             n     furter')

C                   dow       %scan('  ':%trim(fld)) > 0
C                   eval      fld = %replace(' ':%trim(fld):
C                             %scan('  ':%trim(fld)):2)
C                   enddo

fld now equals 'frank n furter                '
