EVALR %subst(Field50: 21: 30) = %trimr(Field30)

The above will trim the trailing blanks from the Field30 field and place
the result right justified in positions 21 to 50 of Field50
Leaving positions 1 to 20 unchanged in Field50

Subject: 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?)
