Greg,
There is no such thing as *BLANKS in CL.
That is why you are having a problem.
The *BLANKS is an RPG reserved word only.
I would suggest that you use a constant of ' ' instead.

Subject: CPYF and *NULL .....
I had a CPYF statement in a CLP that compiled without error but got a
syntax error when it ran:
The error said that value of the second test use not valid.
I looked into the reference manual and found that *BLANKS was not
addressed but that *NULL was.
I switched out *BLANKS for *NULL and recompiled the program.
Now I'm thinking this decision was wrong and I should just use a string
like " ".
To me *null is a hex 00.
Blanks are hex 40.
Any suggestions on how to phrase BLWHS *NE *BLANKS?
I should know this but brain not functioning well today,
Greg
