Re: [V4, positional]: Converting decimal to string without leading zeros

Hello,

I've created a CL program declaring a 4 char string variable. This is passed to an RPGLE program to fill in how many records have been processed. In it's D-specs I declare this as "4S 0", and MOVE a counter variable's contents to there before the program ends. After the RPG program is finished, I'm using SNDPGMMSG with a custom *MSGF to output the number of records processed. (This circuitous way is — to my knowledge — the only way to output a messages which stay in the message line even after the program itself has ended and the command line is appearing again.)

The MOVE creates a string with leading zeros. What would be the easiest/least-code/correct way to get rid of these?

I can't pass the number as number, because the CL compiler complains when the call to SNDPGMMSG is done using *DEC instead of *CHAR.

Thanks for your opinions!
