Re: Creating java strings in RPG

That's a trick question. Yes and No. Depends on when/where you are
referring to using the 'trim',

If you are putting in hard-code values (or other varying fields) into a
varying field, the no, you don't need to trim.
varyingField = '123;
varyingField += '456;
javaObject = @buildString(varyingField);

Else, if the variables, you are putting into the 'varyingField', are not
varying, and well say are 25a, then yes you should.
d fld1 s 25a inz('123')
d fld2 s 25a inz('456')

varyingField = %trim(fld1);
varyingField += %trim(fld2);
javaObject = @buildString(varyingField);

I would personally just use a varying field in RPG then create the Java
string at the end when you need it.

ok, so I _can_ do that. I wasn't sure about that. If I use varying then
I
won't need trim, correct?

Thanks!
