RE: %Len problem

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The length of the field is 100. It is fixed, and will always be 100. But
when I %trim() it,  %len() returned 22. I guess it's nit picking. It's not
worth spending any more time on.

Thanks,

Mark

Yes, %len returns the defined size of a fixed length field.

Look at your test:

That's all I was saying.
