Re: Creating java strings in RPG

[dmosley@xxxxxxxxxx]

That's a trick question. Yes and No.  Depends on when/where you are 
referring to using the 'trim',

If you are putting in hard-code values (or other varying fields) into a 
varying field, the no, you don't need to trim.
        varyingField = '123;
        varyingField += '456;
        javaObject = @buildString(varyingField);

Else, if the variables, you are putting into the 'varyingField', are not 
varying, and well say are 25a, then yes you should.
        d fld1  s               25a  inz('123')
        d fld2  s               25a  inz('456')

        varyingField = %trim(fld1);
        varyingField += %trim(fld2);
        javaObject = @buildString(varyingField);

ok, so I _can_ do that.  I wasn't sure about that.  If I use varying then 
I
won't need trim, correct?

Thanks!
