Um - huh?

My 9.1.1 doesn't do that. I have 2 sources open at the moment, and the End key always places the cursor just past the last non-blank character, not out at character 101 (which would be after my 100 character line length).

Do you folks with the issue have longer than standard source file record lengths? Maybe RDi has trouble with that.

Michael, you say the exact opposite. I'm inclined to go with your view,
but see my thoughts here.

I was so certain, but now...

Time to test. I had a self-induced immolation that ended up with me
deleting every version of WDSC / RDi and re-installing 9.1.1 so I can't
test with WDSC. But I can test it with the Code/400 editor that came
with WDSC v7 (Code/400 v6).

Test conditions:
1) STRSEU, update a line in a source member, save. The member now has
trailing blanks.

2) Open for edit with RDi 9.1.1, press End - cursor goes all the way to
column 101 on my H-specification, which ends at column 41. Close member.

3) Open member for edit in Code/400, press End - cursor goes to column
42. Close member.

4) Open member for edit in SEU, press End - cursor goes to column 42.


Conclusion:
SEU trims trailing blanks on open.
Code/400 did in fact trim trailing blanks on open.
RDi 9.1.1 does not trim trailing blanks on open.

Michael is correct. I am wrong.
