RE: %trim on V5.1

["Smith, Mike" <Mike_Smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually richard i did.  sorry miss typed.
the thing is this program works on a v4r5 machine.  all i did was ftp it
over to 5.1 and recompile.
i've been able to get it to work by moving the arrays to fields, but it just
doesn't make sense to me why i should have to do that.
is it possible i've found a BUG here.

Subject: RE: %trim on V5.1



is the data in field2 right justified?  if so, try putting trim around
field2  -  ie:
eval field1 = %trim(field1) + ' ' + %trim(field2)

----original message----
what i mean is that i still have spaces in the result.  just seems to
ignore
the %trim.
i've started playing around, trying to figure out what is going on and this
is what i have found.

. The first part of the %trim is pulling data from a compile time array.
  such as eval field1 = ary(1)
         eval field1 = %trim(field1) + ' ' + field2

. if i create a field defined the same size as the array, inz it with the
same value as the array, it works.
