I have two variables, both PIC X (120).
For illustration sake Variable A is ' abcdef......'
I want to move Variable A into Variable B, but have the leading spaces removed, so it reads 'abcdef.......'.
thanks |

Inplace:
| Code: |
perform varying I from 1 by 1 until E(1:1) not = space
if E(I:1) = space
continue
else
move E(I:) to E(1:)
end-if
end-perform |
To a different dataarea:
| Code: |
perform varying I from 1 by 1 until E(1:1) not = space
if E(I:1) = space
continue
else
move E(I:) to F
end-if
end-perform |
