Moving a field and removing blanks

An easy one that I can't seem to wrap my head around:

I have a 30 character field where the data is left justified. I want to move it into a 50 character field but want to move it to the far right omitting any trailing blanks.

So something like this:
MYbDATAbHEREbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
moved so it is like this:
EXISTINGbDATAbHEREbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbMYbDATAbHERE

I have been moving between too many languages lately...this seem simple but I can't seem to come up with a simple solution. I *want* to %TRIMR and MOVE at the same time but know that I can't....(can I?)
