Re: Triming CL stings?

you could use varchar in the module then load the resulting string into a
fixed length char variable or if you wanted you could have 2 routines one
for return fixed length and one for returning a varchar. but personally i
would only write one that returns a fixed length. it's not going to the
that labor-intensive on the system regardless...

Thanks,

Adam,

Hey the RPG subprocedure sounds nice but has some implementation issues.
For example if I do
CALLPRC PRC(Trimmer) PARM((&FROMSTRING)) RTNVAL(&TRIMMED)
and Trimmer is a subprocedure in a RPGLE module or service program then it

still isn't right because CL doesn't support varying length fields. At
best it would just trim off the leading blanks. You would have to add
further logic after the CALLPRC.
