Hi,

I have to move a value from a 10 character field to a 2 decimal

ABC 10
xyz 2 0

I am doing a MOVEL operation to move this value to the numeric field.
Now if i have the value of ABC = 1, then the value passed on to XYZ is 10(Since it moves 1 from left, and initial value of XYZ is 00)
What is the edit code that i can use to remove the trailing Zeros before i move the character field to the numeric field.?

Try %INT. It handles "readable" numeric values in strings such as '-1.23', ignoring all blanks.
c eval xyz = %int(ABC)

It doesn't matter what value xyz had before the MOVEL. The MOVEL doesn't just move the '1'; it moves the first two characters of ABC, handling the blank as though it were '0'. (The original value of xyz would only matter if xyz was bigger than ABC.)
