  • Subject: *BLANKS = spaces?

If I MOVE *BLANKS to a field, is that the sames as *ALL ' ' or having
spaces?  I've noticed that the AS/400 generally doesn't seem to
distinguish between a blank and a space in most instances.

This goes back to my 801 character field - when I FTP it to a PC, the
record is only as long as the real data and does not include the
trailing blanks.  I need the PC file to also be 801 characters.

I tried sending the database file first, then converted to a PC Document
and transferred it.  Same result both times.  This may have just gone
off topic for this list...

Thanks!
