Use the STRIP function to remove the zeroes. This will work for your case only if the zeroes are only leading and/or trailing.

Its Scun - thorpe, but the middle letters spell a rather naughty word and some internet filters can't tell the difference between a real place and an attempt to swear at people.

I have written S****horpe,UK in the location section of forum my profile.

I don't know why it is showing "S****horpe".
I think it may be forum site problem.

Thank you Tewy for your help.

I have also found another solution.

  
-SET &AF = '00MNDZY0000';
-SET &NEWAF  = GETTOK(&AF,&AF.LENGTH,1,'0',&AF.LENGTH-1,'A&AF.LENGTH');
-SET &NEWAF1=TRUNCATE(&NEWAF);
-TYPE &NEWAF1;

You could also have used TRIM -

-SET &NEWAF = TRIM(B, &AF.QUOTEDSTRING, &AF.LENGTH, '0', 1, 'A.&AF.LENGTH');
-TYPE &NEWAF1
