Jim,
The definition of %trimr is locate at this site:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/books_web/c0925085631.htm
So the first function implicitly removes spaces, where the second function
explicitly removes backs.

Subject: %TRIMR Question
Hello RPG developers,
I have a question hoping that you will be able to help me
I came accross a piece of code that references this built-in function
%TRIMR
The software sends an email using the SNDDST command
Here it buids the string and tells the program how long the string is.
The question is ... Why the %TrimR portion is written as:
%TrimR(cmd: ' ')
It is my understanding that the %TrimR built-in function will
format the result string "with the right-blanks-trimmed"
Is the %TrimR(cmd) same as %TrimR(cmd:' ')
I am just no clear with this piece of code
Thanks for your answers
Here is the sample code - - - - - - -
CMD = 'SNDDST TYPE(*LMSG) TOINTNET(' +
%TRIM(PSAddr) +
') DSTD(''' +
%TRIM(PSDSTD) +
''') MSG(''' +
%TRIM(WKShortMsg) +
''') LONGMSG(''' +
%TRIM(WKLongMsg) +
''')' ;
CmdLen = %Len(%TrimR(cmd:' '));
QCMDEXEC(CMD:CMDLEN);
