RE: Removing blanks from a varning length field.

--But it does not seem to be working please refer below code :-
-- dv1 s 10
-- dv2 s 5
-- dSUBSTRING s 10 VARYING
--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.
-- Rishi Seth


In your example only "SUBSTRING" is defined as varying.
V1 and V2 are both defined as CHAR.
So they will always be padded with blanks to the defined lengths.
