Hi,
I want to remove the leading space from 1 variable which has
PIC clause S9(16)V99.
Ex.
i/p is -145.35
then it is coming as ' -145.35'
Here I want to remove the leading space from this variable.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance. |

Move the variable to a WS Edit Pattern and bump through it -
| Code: |
03 WS-VARIABLE-V99 PIC S9(16)V99 VALUE -145.35.
03 WS-VARIABLE REDEFINES WS-VARIABLE-V99 PIC S9(18).
03 WS-PATTERN PIC Z(18).
03 WS-SUB PIC 9(08) COMP.
MOVE WS-VARIABLE TO WS-PATTERN.
IF WS-PATTERN (1:) NOT = SPACES
MOVE 1 TO WS-SUB
PERFORM UNTIL WS-SUB > LENGTH OF WS-PATTERN
IF WS-PATTERN (WS-SUB:1) NOT = SPACE
DISPLAY 'VARIABLE (WITH SPACES REMOVED) IS ===> ', WS-PATTERN (WS-SUB:)
MOVE LENGTH OF WS-PATTERN TO WS-SUB
END-IF
ADD 1 TO WS-SUB
END-PERFORM
ELSE
DISPLAY 'VARIABLE IS ALL ZEROS - PLEASE INVESTIGATE'
END-IF.

There are probably other ways to do this.
