Hi everyone.
I have another question for anybody.
Within DDS, is there a way to tell if the last character of a field is NOT
blank.
Let me try to further explain with a simple example.
Lets say a 25 character field, DSPFIELD, contains the value


JUST AN EXAMPLE
which is 15 characters long.
The user then proceeds to fill in the rest of the screen, and later returns
to the field DSPFIELD and INSERTS data in the middle of the text to change
it to

JUST YET ANOTHER SMALL EXAMPLE

This now fills in (and more) the 25 character field. Obviously, in real
life, the insert would have stopped when the second E in EXAMPLE filled in
the 25th character. Apart from the user NOT being able to insert ALL the
text, is there a way for the program to realize that the last character is
NOT blank.
P.S. don't forget, in my example, the cursor would NOT be in the 25th
character.

Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
