Joel,

That's the same reasons I created a Right() function in a service program back
at V3R2, along with lots of other string handling functions.  It uses work
variables but who cares?  The code in the calling program would look like:

   MYVAR = Right( '   thisisseveralcharacters   ': 10 )

or more likely use a variable name for the first argument.

Why not just create a subprocedure to do it?  And better yet, put it in a
service program?
