MYVAR='   thisisseveralcharacters   '
I want store the right 10 nonblank characters into a new variable.
%trim will get rid of the leading, and trailing, blanks.

Nearest way I can figure to do this is to use a 10 character field as a
work variable and evalr the %trim of MYVAR into this.  Any other
suggestions?
