TrimField()

TRIM(1,2)

PURPOSE

This function will return an A type field with the leading or trailing spaces deleted.

PARTS

1 f/c/e

Required - The value to be trimmed. The original field is not changed.

2 f/c/e

'T' - trim trailing spaces; this is the default value.

'L' - trim leading spaces.

RETURN TYPE - A

If the receiving field is not long enough, the remaining characters will be truncated.

COMMENTS

You would use this function when concatenating (adding) A type fields together. If the spaces aren't trimmed, there will probably be extra spaces in the resulting value. This function can get rid of them. You can also use the '*' when concatenating the fields. For more information please see Mathmatical Operators.
