Re: Use of VARYING fields

That wouldn't make sense... if you are exporting from a varying,
there's no blanks to trim.

Perhaps you are thinking of the same parm on the CPYFRMIMPF? There,
trimming trailing blanks makes no sense unless you are importing into
a varying field.

I thought that only worked when the character fields are VARYING.

Very true, especially if using CPYTOIMPF. Otherwise your fixed length

can take up a lot of unused space.

FYI, CPYTOIMPF has a 'TRIM' function, if you don't have the benefit of
variable length database fields.  Its called RMVBLANK.
