Inspect to remove spaces

Post by Krishna0608 » Thu Sep 21, 2017 11:36 pm

Code:
INSPECT 800-ID REPLACING LEADING
ZEROS BY SPACES
DISPLAY '800-ID:'800-ID
MOVE 800-ID TO 800-ID1
DISPLAY '800-ID1:'800-ID1
INSPECT 800-ID1 TALLYING 800-CNT FOR LEADING SPACES
DISPLAY '800-CNT:'800-CNT
MOVE 800-ID(800-CNT + 1:12 - 800-CNT) TO 800-ID2
SUBTRACT 800-CNT FROM LENGTH OF 800-ID GIVING 800-CNT1
DISPLAY '800-CNT1:'800-CNT1
MOVE 800-CNT1 TO TGPALID-ID-VER-RULE-SET-ID-LEN
MOVE 800-ID2 TO TGPALID-ID-VER-RULE-SET-ID-TXT

Output:
800-ID:000000000222(INPUT)
800-ID: 222(9 spaces before 222)
800-ID1: 222
800-CNT:75
800-CNT1:63

Iam getting the output wrong 800-CNT values like this. But i need 800-CNT1 as 3 and 800-ID2 as 222.

Please help me how to get this?
