You always have the CHECK opcode that'll tell you the position of the first character NOT what you specify. Then SUBST and you are done.

Of course, FLDA should be zoned - if it's packed, Z-ADD it to a zoned field that has a char field in the same position in a DS.

Eh?

I have a old rpg program that I need to make a change to.
I need to left justify a right justified field.
For instance. FLDA is 6.0 contains 000123
I need to put it in FLDB which is 6 alpha. I need the result to be '123
'
This is not a program I can convert to ile.

As a side note, I have this working, but it seems like so much code to
do this.
I'm just wondering if there is a simpler method than what I came up
with.

Thanks
