Thanks, Bryan.

Just last week I was looking for a %trim function in CL.

Just passing along....

PTF SI48166

Abstract:
OSP-CL-CMPL-PERFM Add support for %TRIM built-in function

APAR Error Description / Circumvention
-------------------------------------------------
The limitation of one string operation built-in function, %SUBSTRING, in CL forces application developers to spend time and effort on workarounds when manipulating character strings in CL programs and CL procedures.

CORRECTION FOR APAR 'SE53451' :
-------------------------------
The original CL compiler and the ILE CL compiler will provide support for the following additional string operation built-in
functions:
%TRIM - Trim Characters at Edges
%TRIML - Trim Leading Characters
%TRIMR - Trim Trailing Characters
All of these CL built-in functions will have almost the same behavior as the RPG built-in functions by the same name. The CL function names were chosen to be the same as RPG to make the CL built-in functions as easy and intuitive for RPG application developers to use as possible.
