In RPGLE you can the following:
C     $WRK1         CAT       $SAVIT:1      PS@D50 
This puts 1 space between the two values.
Or to not have any and put them right next to each do this:
C     $WRK1         CAT       $SAVIT:0      PS@D50
I hope this helps.

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.
