Rahull,
Try this
| Code: |
01 WS-INPUT PIC X(50) VALUE 'THIS IS A TEST TEXT'.
01 WS-LENGTH PIC S9(04) COMP.
01 W-TALLY PIC S9(04) COMP.
01 WS-OUTPUT PIC X(50) VALUE SPACES.
01 WS-I-SUB PIC S9(04) COMP.
01 WS-O-SUB PIC S9(04) COMP VALUE 1.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
INSPECT FUNCTION REVERSE(WS-INPUT) TALLYING W-TALLY
FOR LEADING SPACES
COMPUTE WS-LENGTH = LENGTH OF WS-INPUT - W-TALLY
PERFORM VARYING WS-I-SUB FROM 1 BY 1
UNTIL WS-I-SUB > WS-LENGTH
IF WS-INPUT ( WS-I-SUB: 1 ) NOT = SPACE
MOVE WS-INPUT ( WS-I-SUB: 1 ) TO
WS-OUTPUT ( WS-O-SUB: 1 )
ADD +1 TO WS-O-SUB
END-IF
END-PERFORM
DISPLAY WS-OUTPUT

Hi Kolusu,
This was my code i wrote for the same requirement some months ago. Your one was awesome.
| Code: | 01 WS-WORKING-STORAGE.
05 WS-WORD-CNT PIC 9(2) VALUE 0.
05 WS-OP-WORD-CNT PIC 9(2) VALUE 0.
05 WS-TABLE.
10 WS-VAR PIC X(80).
10 WS-OUTPUT-VAR PIC X(80).
05 WS-SPACE PIC X(01) VALUE 'N'.
88 WS-SPACE-YES VALUE 'Y'.
88 WS-SPACE-NO VALUE 'N'.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
0000-BEGIN.
MOVE 'ASDA SKADJ L KDJF ASD DF ASDF AS SADF SDF SDF'
TO WS-VAR.
PERFORM 1000-LOOP UNTIL WS-WORD-CNT = 80 .
DISPLAY WS-VAR
DISPLAY WS-OUTPUT-VAR.
STOP RUN.
1000-LOOP.
IF WS-VAR(WS-WORD-CNT:1) = ' ' THEN
SET WS-SPACE-YES TO TRUE
ELSE
IF WS-SPACE-YES
MOVE ' ' TO WS-OUTPUT-VAR(WS-OP-WORD-CNT:1)
ADD 1 TO WS-OP-WORD-CNT
MOVE WS-VAR(WS-WORD-CNT:1) TO
WS-OUTPUT-VAR(WS-OP-WORD-CNT:1)
ADD 1 TO WS-OP-WORD-CNT
SET WS-SPACE-NO TO TRUE
ELSE
MOVE WS-VAR(WS-WORD-CNT:1) TO
WS-OUTPUT-VAR(WS-OP-WORD-CNT:1)
ADD 1 TO WS-OP-WORD-CNT
END-IF
END-IF
ADD 1 TO WS-WORD-CNT. |
Thanks,

Kolusu,
This is very interesting stuff. I believe you can't achieve the same by using a utilities like SORT or FIle-Aid.

Why you had to use REVERSE function on the WS-INPUT?
Earlier
| Quote: |
'THIS IS A TEST TEXT'
|
Later
| Quote: |
'TEXT TEST A IS THIS'
|
What would be the significance? I haven't understood it really.
Thanks.

On an average, in an alphanumeric variable - the number of trailing spaces can be expected to be more than leading spaces - since people normally enter alphanumeric values starting from byte 1.
When the text is smaller compared to the Picture clause length, you would be wasting cpu cycles doing the perform till end of line. And, INSPECT has no way to identify the number of trailing spaces / characters. So, use REVERSE function along with INSPECT to find out the number of trailing spaces and save the number of iterations in perform.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Phantom |

Hi,
I had tried the code given by kolusu on following text
"MAKE A DIFFERENCE "
but I am getting output as
"MAKEADIFFERENCE0000010"
numeric values are getting appending at the end of string. The code is exact as shown by kolusu. Can somebody help me getting it correct.

Madhu,
suggest you recheck your code.

psmadhusudhan,
I would bet that you have line numbers in pos 72 thru 80 which are also included as part of your input string.
To get rid of them
1. Type NUM OFF on the command prompt and press ENTER
2. Type [code:1:a54964a299]C P' |

arvibala,
Are u really thinking that the code reverses the text?  It Does NOT. Inspect reverse does the scanning from the end of the text to the beginning of the text looking for the non space value. once it finds the non space value it stops. |

Hi Kolusu,
I was quoting the REVERSE Function, not the Logic of ur code. The Output Ranga gave for the Reverse function was wrong. He gave word by word Reverse of the sentence. I was questioning that.
And the REVERSE FUNCTION reverses the Text and gives as input to the INSPECT, then only it will be able to eliminate the leading spaces.
Thanks,

| Code: |
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 NAME PIC X(50).
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MAIN-STREET.
MOVE 'THIS IS ARVIND' TO NAME.
DISPLAY 'REVERSE:', FUNCTION REVERSE(NAME).
STOP RUN.
|
the output was
| Code: |
REVERSE: DNIVRA SI SIHT
