Re: %size(%trim(field)) in RPG/IV

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,

%size will not except an expression where %len will.  I can't think of a case 
where this would be a problem though.

I tried using the %size(%trim(field)) combination in RPG and got a compile
error.  Our machine is on V3R2.  Any ideas?  It is supposed to act the same
as %len, I have heard.
