Given: lib = 'MYLIB' file = 'MYFILE' mbr = 'MYMBR' Both examples would produce: 'MYLIB/MYFILE( MYMBR )' Trim is not really implied, it is a different type of string. One that stores the length of the string so it knows where it ends. The difference is, if I say with a varying field lib: C Eval lib = 'MYLIB' then lib has the value of 'MYLIB'. If, I say with a 10 length string: C Eval lib = 'MYLIB' then lib has the value of 'MYLIB ' Regards, Jim Langston From: "Fisher, Don" <Dfisher@roomstoreeast.com> So the %TRIM is implied when concatenating fields into a VARYING field? Suppose I change your example to: qualname = lib + ' / ' + file + '( ' + mbr + ' )' or qualname = lib + '/' + file + '(' + ' ' + mbr + ' ' + ')' Would the spaces remain in the concatenated string in either example?
