Harry,
      Sorry,  I didn't presnent  my problem correctly.
      I actually am  looking for a simple method to trim the blanks on
the RIGHTside of a SAS string, not  left side.  There are two
conditions:
     First.  Excepting the trailing balnks, the positions of other
characters should not chnaged, and
    Second, the blanks (if any) on the left sides should not be removed
.

     I guess SAS should provide a Base function called RTRIM(), but I
simply can not find it.
