SQR Version 2.5.7 on DEC AXP Platform

[Edward Forman <FORMANEL@SNYONEVA.CC.ONEONTA.EDU>]

My organization just moved from a DEC VAX to a DEC AXP platform.  I've just 
discovered that while the LTRIM function works as before, the RTRIM function 
does NOT!  

The following is a test of some code that is used to see if a character string 
is a potential social security number (contains all numbers).  On the VAX the 
LTRIM and RTRIM lines would both be blank.  On the AXP the results are 
different.

Has anyone else esperienced this?
