You can specify multiple characters to be trimmed in V5.3
You can also use the TRIML() and TRIMR() subprocedure that I wrote/published
a few weeks ago at www.mcpressonline.com/midrangedev

Subject: RE: Will %trim trim *loval?

Jon,

Will the new %trim support multiple characters?  Suppose your variable was 
like the following:
'A' + x'40004000400040004000'  or 'A' + blank + loval + blank + loval...
Wouldn't the nesting there be rather intense?  Granted, you'd have to be 
in a chemically altered state to get that, but I wouldn't have to remember 
is it:
mychar = %trim(%trim(myvar):x'00);
or
mychar = %trim(%trim(myvar:x'00));
or, in other words which came; the string of nulls or the string of 
blanks?

 >> Can anyone think of a reason that you would not want *loval treated 
like
*blanks with the *trim operation?  If so, you think there's a chance that
a DCR might do any good?

Yup - it's not a space <grin>

V5R3 will give you relief - you'll be able to specify the character to 
trim.

I can't imagine a DCR would have any effect - I can't think of any other
language where trim would remove X'00's - and the new function will allow
you to do it anyway.
