LTRIM(x,y) is a string function that removes all of the characters specified in the character string y (string specification) from the start of the character string x (string specification). The result of LTRIM(x,y), therefore, starts with the first character that was not specified in y. Only expressions that supply an alphanumeric value are permitted as string specifications.
