Re: trimming trailing blanks in spooled output...

Michael - this is NOT a flippant question, but why the concern for your 2
points?

1) writes print line that is 132 bytes of spaces in order to skip a line
2) writes a line of 132 characters where the first 5 (for example) are
significant followed by 127 spaces

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

wording?

Gregory,

No. Perhaps I should have been more clear.

For standard 132-character wide reports, I am concerned about cases where

a

programmer has done something like this:

1) writes print line that is 132 bytes of spaces in order to skip a line
2) writes a line of 132 characters where the first 5 (for example) are
significant followed by 127 spaces

Will the spooler on the iSeries truncate these trailing extraneous

spaces?
