What settings have me to require the STRIM function? It is not a problem I am just curious what made me require the strim today when I lived without it for maybe 15 years
Gunnar,
FYI, whenever strings where concatenated and the components are variables, trailing blanks are always truncated. The same rule applies when doing expressions and have always trimmed trailing spaces.
This is the whole reason we have two concatenate operators, one (+) which does not preserve trailing spaces, and another (&) which supplies one trailing space.
If you need more that one blank space, you need to use hard space character values.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
