Care to try a little SQL?

update file-name set field-name = trim( field-name )

If you have SQL developer kit installed, you can run that statement in
STRSQL. Otherwise put it in a source member and run with RUNSQLSTM.

And if you have no front-end for SQL at all, the equivalent RPG Cycle
program isn't going to be much longer.

No disagreement there but I think it profitable to note that writing a
command line utility to execute SQL statements like this one have been
in the public domain for quite a while. There's one in the FAQ, for
example.
