String Right Trim

Former Member — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:27:40 GMT

Hi,

I have to right trim a string which is not working when I tried the below,

eg : var = "abcdefgh ".

In the above I want to remove the trailing 2 spaces

I tried

shift var right deleting trailing space.

which completely cleared var.

Please help me on resolving this...

So what exactly is not working? It created following program, and it seems to be working just fine...


DATA : var TYPE char10 VALUE 'abcdefgh  ',
             length TYPE i.

length = NUMOFCHAR( var ).
WRITE:/1 length.
SHIFT var RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.

length = NUMOFCHAR( var ).
WRITE:/1 var.
WRITE:/1 length.

Hi,

Try using CONDENSE Statement.
