Variable Length Field Question

Ok,

Assume I have field varField defined as Varying in an RPG
program.

Now I say:

eval varField = '^^^^^^Data^^^^^'

(Each ^ is a blank)

Should varField then equal:

"^^^^^^Data"

or

"Data"

If the latter, why?  And how can I get it to equal the
prior?  My testing shows I am getting the latter (no
preceeding spaces).

Thanks!

Brad
