Mike,

C               Eval    Var = %TrimR(Var)

or do you mean remove the last character

C               Eval    Var = %SubSt(Var: 1: %Len(Var) - 1)

or if VAR is not varying

C               Eval    Var = %SubSt(Var: 1: %Len(%TrimR(Var)) - 1)

Regards,
Paul

How do I go about trimming off the last character of some text when the text
inside could have variable lengths?
