Since you are using edit code 3... wouldn't %Char be the better option for
you. %Char trims the number but doesn't put in any commas.

07/02/2009 10:09 One function to Trim and Edit a
AM number.

I find I'm constantly using %trim(%editc(Cust#:'3')) for
messages, logs, etc.
I got sick of having to use 2 bifs to do this.
So I made tred() and it works great for numbers with
zero decimal places.
Without tred -
msg_Send('Customer ' + %trim(%editc(sfCust#:'3'))
+ ' not found.');
With tred (optional editcode not passed) -
msg_Send('Customer ' + tred(sfCust#)
+ ' not found.');
I find I'm using this in a ton of places, but, it doesn't
handle decimal places, so --
I made another one, tred2() to do the same thing
but for 2 decimal places.
Anyone got a better and/or cleaner scheme to do this,
as far as handling 1,2,3 or 4 decimal places?
(1 function to handle all decimal place variations)
Improvement suggestions?
Anyway, if not, and you find this useful, then great!
