Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi everyone,

I faced the following question, for which I could not answer, I think. Could you please have a look and help:

Input file contains data as follows:
How to remove these leading spaces and ## so that the Output looks like this:

IF statement would be easiest (if not very generic):A more generic solution would be to strip off the first two # signs, then use a loop to determine the number of leading spaces, then use a similar INPUT-VAR = to remove leading spaces.

You can also use INSPECT VARYING for this.
