If you're using RPG IV/ILE you can use the %TRIM built in functions.  For
example:

        Eval FullName = %Trim(Forename) + ' ' + %Trim(Surname)

Will produce the full name with only one space between the two parts.

All the best

Subject: Concatenate two strings spacing issue

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.
