RE: CPYF question

Okay, 

        First I restarted this thread.   

        Second I built a three record test bed PF called VATTBL..

 * . . .  + . . .  . 1 . .  . . + .  . . . 2  . . . .  +                        
     *...+....1....+....2....+               
 D9858396 96998440 7BF140D5 9640D4C9 40404040 40404040 40                       
    *Recoord #1 No MI                    *   
 D9858396 9984407B F240D4C9 40404040 40404040 D4C94040 40                       
    *Record #2 MI        MI              *   
 D9858396 998440F3 40D4C940 D9898788 A3404040 404040D4 C9                       
    *Record 3 MI Right      MI           *   

          Then I compiled the code...

0001.00 PGM

             041007

             041007            
0008.00                                                                         
             041007            
0009.00  ENDPGM                                                                 
             041007            

          This prints Record Number #3...................

The Logclpgm shows the code executing on a V4R5 box as 

   600 - CPYF FROMFILE(VATTBL) TOFILE(*PRINT) INCREL((*IF TXSUF *EQ '  
  MI'))

           This prints Record Number 
#2................................................

The Logclpgm shows the code executing on a V4R5 box as 
   
    600 - CPYF FROMFILE(VATTBL) TOFILE(*PRINT) INCREL((*IF TXSUF *EQ 'MI')) 

So I am lost as to what the issue is and Why if the CLP adds the appropriate 
trim & quotes, your are forcing them into the mix in your code.. 
 
Did I enter this thread to late and miss something .....
