Doug,

This is something that is handled by the emulator so maybe the emulator or version you are using might be the culprit. Maybe you have another version you can try it on.

Gosh, I just tried it.

http://www.martinvt.com/Subfiles/FAQ/faq.html

It worked as expected, with no extra blanks.

Just for fun, try changing to CNTFLD(24) just to see what happens?

I have a 100 character field that is a free form "memo" type field, where the user can type anything into it.

I have it defined in DDS as WRDWRAP with CNTFLD(50) to display one 100 character field as two 50 character lines.

When I test entering data hands down, it works perfectly, and pushes longer words to the next line as they begin to not be able to fit on the initial line.

When I look at the data returned to RPG, there are embedded spaces being returned where the word was "pushed" to the second line. I was not expecting to see this, since in the IBM APPLICATION DISPLAY PROGRAMMING manual on page 33, it specifically states "Extra blanks that are inserted to make a wrap occur are removed when data is returned to your program."

Has anyone got this to work as documented by IBM? Is there another keyword I must use to make this happen? Do I need to install a PTF?

Thank you,

Doug
