Hi,

But it does not seem to be working please refer below code :-

dv1 s 10
dv2 s 5
dSUBSTRING s 10 VARYING
DPOS S 5U 0
DLEN S 5U 0
DN1 S 2P 0
c eval v1='RISHI'
C EVAL N1=%LEN(V1)
C N1 DSPLY
C V1 DSPLY
C EVAL N1=%LEN(%TRIM(V1))
C N1 DSPLY
C V1 DSPLY
C EVAL V1= %TRIML(V1)
C EVAL N1=%LEN(V1)
C N1 DSPLY
C V1 DSPLY
C EVAL V1= %TRIMR(V1)
C EVAL N1=%LEN(V1)
C N1 DSPLY
C V1 DSPLY
C EVAL LEN=%SCAN(' ':V1)
C LEN DSPLY
C EVAL POS=%SCAN(' ':V1)
C EVAL SUBSTRING=%SUBST(V1:1:POS-1)
C EVAL N1=%LEN(SUBSTRING)
C N1 DSPLY
C SUBSTRING DSPLY
C MOVE SUBSTRING V2
C V2 DSPLY
C EVAL *INLR=*ON

when we debug it shows value of v1 as 'RISHIBBBB'

So neither trim nor trimr even substring also does not seem to work as it
shows substring value as 'RISHIBBBBB'

B---Means blanks.

If you set the value of a variable length (VARCHAR) from a fixed length
(CHAR), trailing blanks are included in the length - I believe this is
clearly stated in the manuals where VARCHARs are documented.

I use the %trim or %trimr BIF to take care of this.

Hi,

Supportrar there is a field 'x', and each time due to some situation it's
length keeps on varying and after the value of this field if some blanks
appear then how can we remove them so that after removing those blanks
it
should not have any trailing blanks in it?


Thanks
