Just for kicks I did some digging. Check out the triml mbr in qsysinc/mih. I don't have any performance numbers but if you want to trim off a trailing character X you could use this and then %substr. Example code down & dirty... but it works. H DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP('QILE') H BNDDIR('QC2LE' : 'QUSAPIBD') FQPRINT O F 80 PRINTER F OFLIND(*IN99) * D triml PR 10i 0 ExtProc('triml') D * Value options(*string) D 1 value char to trim * D STR1 C 'A test string w/blanks ' D STR2 C 'String with lots of punctuation!!!!- D !!!!!!!' * D TrimLen S 10i 0 * C EVAL TrimLen = triml(str1 : ' ') C EXCEPT EX0010 * C EVAL TrimLen = triml(str2 : '!')
