RE: %Int

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but it would be nice to have
a modifier on the %Int bif.  Something like this:

myInt = %Int('  ':*Zero);

That would put make it so zeros would be put into myInt if it was
_entirely_ blanks.  The way %Int works right now is more purist that the
RPG cares to have it's bif's, IMO.

Blanks are not considered zero.  '1 2 3' is not 10203, it is 123.
