RE: %TRIMR

["Walden Leverich" <walden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it is working as it is supposed to. The %trimr function is trimming
to trailing blanks, but EVAL loads the resulting character string left
justified. To get this right justified try:


EVAL %substr(Location:%size(Location) - %Len(%trim(Location)) +
1:%Len(%trim(Location))) = %trim(Location)

-Walden

PS. I haven't tried this so I'm not sure the compiler will eat it. But it
should work.

 LOCATION will have the value '  Toronto, Ontario'.

                  EVAL      LOCATION = %TRIMR('  Toronto, Ontario  ')


This doesn't work like it's supposed to. The result is left-justified
(with the leading blank), not right-justified. Any ideas or suggestions?
