It most likely due to the difference between changes date and times
between server and the local copies actually opened when in edit mode.
If the server is later then RDi will down load a copy from the server.
I cannot say this occurs 100% of the time but with a little testing I
was able to get the extra spaces just by checking out a member then
opening it up . The member change date / time was at least a day
different between the server and my local copy.
With the ability to use 'trim' command quickly it's not that big of a
deal. I would prefer that IBM spend time to bring back the ability to
lasso items on the DSPF edit tool when using the select cursor and the
CTRL key (like it used to do in an 8.x version).
Thanks, Matt

I don't think this is related to SEU modifying the source and how RDI
then interprets it because I'm having this happen with source in my
development library and unless I have some very odd co-workers who spend
their time going into my source and making slight modifications, I'm
never in SEU.
I will say that I never nailed down the scenario. Sometimes I open up
source in RDi and when I hit the END key it goes to the last character,
at other times it goes to column 80. I guess I can put a PMR in and
see where that goes. Being told to "trim" every source I open isn't
something I'm going to be happy with. (Does trim work in browse mode?
I'm positive I've had the trailing blanks happen in source opened to
browse - of course every source I'm opening up right now does not have
trailing spaces.)

There is a 5250 function to go to the end of the value in a field -

Yeah, I know, but I don't use it.
I do not recall, but I don't think it is often set up - not as a
default, that I can remember.
It may or may not be the default in Client Access and its successors.
I have specifically avoided it for my own personal configuration. I
know that I have briefly used other 5250 clients which were configured
(either by default or by an admin) to use the End key (no modifier) for
that purpose. (Mocha? Procomm? Don't remember.)
