That gets rid of all @VMs not just the empty trailing ones.
I realize it answers the very specific example posted , but if that example was 
really the case being questioned I would say just use FXI=FXI<1,1,1>  or count=1
I would assume that this question is really being asked about a more general 
situation such as FXI  = 1ý2ýý
In which case >> FXI=trim(FXI,@VM,'T')
To remove all empty @VM delimited fields >> FXI=trim(FXI,@VM,'R')

Am I missing something, or would CONVERT CHAR(253) TO "" IN FXI not do the job?
or FXI=CHANGE(FXI,CHAR(253),"") 

Maybe: 

EQU CLEARVM TO CONVERT CHAR(253) TO "" IN
...
...
...
CLEARVM FXI
