Something like this work?

fieldAlpha = %editw(%dec(%trim(Field22)): 'Z')

Hello list,

I have a field that is string of 22 positions with a value of 0000317982. I need to trim the zeros on the left to have only the value of 317982 and move it to another string field.

I have tried to convert it to numeric but it gives me leading blanks " 317982000000000000".

Any help would be appreciated.
