I am having an Alphanumric field (A50).I need to remove the spaces from the present in that.
I used compress leaving no spaces but it is not working.
| Code: |
DEFINE DATA
LOCAL
1 #I (A25)
END-DEFINE
INPUT #I
COMPRESS #I INTO #I LEAVING NO SPACE
DISPLAY #I
END
RESULT
#I abcd efg hij klmnio pqr
#I
-------------------------
ABCD EFG HIJ KLMNIO PQR
|
Am i missing something,any other workaround to achieve the same ?? |

| Can you display #I in a hex format to insure that the apparent 'spaces' are really x'40's? |

Hi beruoist,
If you want to remove the trailing spaces from the string then try the EXAMINE FULL with delete option.
e.g. EXAMINE FULL #string ' ' DELETE
