Re: %TRIMR Question

I believe it would be the same as not using the second parameter. From
the manual:

%TRIMR(string {: characters to trim})

%TRIMR with only one parameter returns the given string with any
trailing blanks removed.

%TRIMR with two parameters returns the given string with any trailing
characters that are in the characters to trim parameter removed.

Hello RPG developers,

I have a question hoping that you will be able to help me

I came accross a piece of code that references this built-in function
%TRIMR
The software sends an email using the SNDDST command

Here it buids the string and tells the program how long the string is.
The question is ... Why the %TrimR portion is written as:

%TrimR(cmd: ' ')

It is my understanding that the %TrimR built-in function will
format the result string "with the right-blanks-trimmed"

Is the %TrimR(cmd) same as %TrimR(cmd:' ')

I am just no clear with this piece of code

Thanks for your answers



Here is the sample code - - - - - - -

CMD = 'SNDDST TYPE(*LMSG) TOINTNET(' +
%TRIM(PSAddr) +
') DSTD(''' +
%TRIM(PSDSTD) +
''') MSG(''' +
%TRIM(WKShortMsg) +
''') LONGMSG(''' +
%TRIM(WKLongMsg) +
''')' ;
CmdLen = %Len(%TrimR(cmd:' '));
QCMDEXEC(CMD:CMDLEN);
