Reference modification with tallying counter

Hi,

Suppose i have a tallying counter for leading spaces, we are tallying a field of 10 bytes and we want to remove all leading spaces.

I use a code

INSPECT CV-NAME TALLYING SUB FOR LEADING SPACES

MOVE CV-NAME((SUB + 1):(LN - SUB))

TO CV-NAME-NEW

Note: Here, LN is length of CV-NAME which is 10 bytes.

Suppose SUB is of 10 bytes, then i am afraid, the prgram will go to 11th byte, please suggest how such cases can be handled, as CV-NAME field can have SPACES completely.

Thanks

before the inspect, IF CV-NAME = SPACES, skip the inspect and the move.
