Hmm, you want to TRIM some spaces.  I wonder what IBM might name a bif to 
do that?  Anyone have a clue?  How about %trim?  Dang, that's it!

Look up built in functions.

A shoot from the hip on the converting text would be the %xlate, from the 
same url.  However better minds might suggest some API, especially if 
multilingual support might be a consideration.
Just a quick glance

Subject
String Functions in COBOL/400.







Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there are any built in functions or any simpler way 
for performing the following string functions??

 

1)       Trimming leading or trailing spaces in a string

2)       Converting text from lower case to upper case and vice versaâ

 

Regards,

Siva
