Since sending a message, why not stop using dynamic\impromptu

string variable TRIMmed into a message string defined with a

MSGFILE(MyMsgFile) MSG('Customer &1 not found.') VAR((*CHAR 14))
[cmd syntax is suspect\un-verified] and then send the
edited\character result as the replacement variable for send message
and retrieve message.

Brilliant! I was so focused on the ugliness of the proposed original solution I completely missed the real point. Of course using the message handler is the correct solution to this particular problem. Well spotted!
