Re: Source Opens with trailing spaces not trimmed

There is a 5250 function to go to the end of the value in a field - it's called "End Field" in the keyboard mapping utility.

I do not recall, but I don't think it is often set up - not as a default, that I can remember.

I find it very helpful and have it in my custom keyboard map - Shift-End or the like.

If this is set up, then in SEU the behavior would be as described in the SRCDTA field - this is a field-level action.

Here is where you must be careful. How does the End key know where to
go? I don't believe it's a function of SEU. For that matter, I don't
think it's even meaningful from a pure 5250-centric perspective. When
I was cutting my teeth on dumb terminals, there was no "go to end of
line". For that reason, even today (for my 5250 emulator sessions) I
do not have any key mapped to what you describe.

I believe the End you are talking about is a function of the terminal
software. What happens when you skip the RDi and Code/400 steps? How
about just plain old editing in SEU? How does End behave there?
