Re: %trim and %trimr Not Working on a 32767A Field

    D SendBatchEmail  PI
    D  fromAddress                 100A   CONST
    D                                     OPTIONS(*VARSIZE)
    D  toAddress                 32767A   CONST
    D                                     OPTIONS(*VARSIZE)

       cmd = 'SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(BATCHEMAIL) ' +
             'PARM(''' + %trim(fromAddress) + ''' ''' +
                         %trim(toAddress) + ''' ''' +

After the assignment to cmd, it contains "SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(BATCHEMAIL)
PARM('me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' 'me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
..." A ton of spaces and no ending quote mark. Any ideas? I am sure I am
doing something stupid, I just can't see it.
I'd use VARYING rather than *VARSIZE and avoid the %trim altogether, but that isn't the issue. Look at toAddress in debug, in hex notation. Are those really blanks or something else?
