Re: quick question on string-appreciate ur help,Thanks in adv..

If your application stores the data as numeric, simply use: 
%trim(%editc(number: 'Z'))

If your field is alpha, but contains only valid nun=mbers use: 
%trim(%editc(%dec(alpha: 7: 0): 'Z'))  - this will work even if you have 
trailing blanks.  If your field contains non valid numbers, you will 
need to use test or monitor.
