Suppression of trailing spaces in given string

shell100 · Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:23 pm

Hi,

I have a given string as “ My Name is XYA “ & need to suppress only trailing spaces given at the end. Is there any cobol function available for it ?

Thanks in advance

Let say input is "My Name is XYZ________".
____ are the spaces in the string at the end which i want to suppress giving output as "My Name is XYZ".

One way of doing this through cobol pgm is by inspect with replace verb.
