I have 4 occurrences of 72 bytes that are text data. the first occurrence only uses 69 and has 3 spaces at the end.
Example of what I am stringing:
field 1
FAILS WHEN THE BILLING PROVIDER NUMBER IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE CLAIM << has three trailing spaces
field 2 TYPE. << the end of the sentence
field 3 and field 4 are blank
I want to string the two together but have only one space between.
My string styatement is below
| Code: |
STRING EXCI-EXCEP-LONG-DESC(1) DELIMITED BY ' '
' ' DELIMITED BY SIZE
EXCI-EXCEP-LONG-DESC(2) DELIMITED BY ' '
' ' DELIMITED BY SIZE
EXCI-EXCEP-LONG-DESC(3) DELIMITED BY ' '
' ' DELIMITED BY SIZE
EXCI-EXCEP-LONG-DESC(4) DELIMITED BY ' '
INTO D-SR250-LONG-DS-TEXT |
My result comes out as just the first word "FAILS" from string one with one space between "TYPE".
FAILS TYPE. |
