ZEDIT           Z EDIT CODE RPG SUBROUTINE             TAARPGZ

The Z Edit Code  RPG Subroutine tool provides two  subroutines that can
be  copied into  a program  for stripping  leading  zeros off  a field.
ZEDITL  left adjusts  the data.   ZEDITR right  adjusts the  data.  The
subroutines are helpful when  you cannot or prefer  not to use the  RPG
output specs.

The specific  code considers any value  equal or less than  X'F0' to be
a  zero.  Therefore,  if you  move a value  that is less  than 15 bytes
(the size of ZEDITF), the leading blanks will also be truncated.

If a zero value exists, a single zero is returned.

The same  type  of  interface is  used  for both  programs,  but  MOVEL
should  be  used  for  ZSHFTL  and MOVE  should  be  used  for  ZSHFTR.
Padding  with blanks should  occur on the  first MOVE or  MOVEL and use
EXSR to either ZEDITL  or ZEDITR.   The result is  then placed back  in
the ZSHFLD field and you would move the result to your field.

     C                     MOVE xxx       ZEDITF    P      Field to edt
     C                     EXSR ZEDITL                     Editing subr
     C                     MOVELZEDITF    yyy              Move out

The following RPG  code is in  a form ready to  be copied to an  RPG or
RPG IV
