Is this a situation where you are writing a paragraph and want to
concatenate sentence fragments or insert variable names into the wording?

Subject: trimming trailing blanks in spooled output...

List,

Is there a built-in mechanism on the iSeries that will automatically "trim" 
(or truncate) trailing blanks that are written to spooled reports? We are 
migrating some applications from the VSE/mainframe world. At one time, this 
was an issue that had to be addressed by its spooler. I was wondering if 
anyone could enlighten me on what the iSeries will can and will do in these 
cases. TIA
