Now, you can reply back on how any decent language should have this, that

about it - request it.
To be fair, Matt didn't say he actually wanted anything done. His
comment, taken at face value, expresses amazement, period. I think
most CL programmers have either not needed this (since *TCAT and *BCAT
handle many of the use cases of %TRIM) or have been working around it
by using RPG or some other language whenever string handling gets past
a certain threshold of complexity. So I think an observer can be just
as incredulous at the fact that IBM *did* bother to allocate resources
putting this in, this late in the game.
