   Hello Douglas...

   Eval Finalstring = %trim(50charstring) + %trim(10charstring)

   The %trim function will eliminate spacing on the front and back of the
   variables in question.

   Have a good day.

   I know that I can easil concatenate two strings with the CAT function,
   however is there a way to eliminate any excess spacing?

   In this particular case I have two strings which are 50 and 10 char in
   length respectively.....I am concatenating the 10 char to the end of the
   50
   but there are times where the 50 char string does not have anywhere close
   to
   50 and I'd like to strip out those spaces if possible.

   I have tried using the trimR and TRIML functions but that did not seem to
   help.....

   Suggestions?

   If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
