AW: Zero suppress a character field for display...

What about:

EvalR MyCharInv = %TrimR(%TrimL(MyCharInv: '0'));

In a single line of code:
%subst(invoiceNbr:1:(%check('0':invoiceNbr)-1)) = *blanks;

Basically just finds the first non-zero character and replaces everything
before it with *blanks.

Subject: Zero suppress a character field for display...

Hi all,

This should be quick. I have a character field

d invoiceNbr s 9a

which may hold '001234567'. The user wants to see the invoice number with
leading zeroes suppressed so '1234567'.

My first thought is
/free
dspInvoiceNbr = %Char(%Dec(invoiceNbr: 9: 0));
/end-free

Is there a better method or is this about as good as any other method?

Thanks,

Rob
