Hi!
Is there a builtin function in PL/1 to locate the last non-blank character of a string?
Will verify help in this case? |

| You can use a combination of functions to achieve your goal, but I don't remember any single function that will do what you want. |

Enterprise PL/I, don't know when this variant of VERIFY was introduced:
VAR = VERIFYR(String, ' '); |
