RE: My dilemma with VARYING was ->RE: Error in %trim BIF with V5R3?

Joe,
I see that casual use of %TRIM all over the place and people wonder why it
doesn't work. I wish more people would habitually use %TrimR() and only use
%trim() when they think about think about it first.  
Thanks.

Absolutely right, Bob.  I was thinking about TrimR, because Aaron was asking
about trailing blanks.  I should have written:

%LEN(x) = %len(%TrimR(x))

Which of course works fine.  Thanks for pointing that out!

Joe

%LEN(x) = %len(%Trim(x)) is just wrong.
