Along the same lines, I find it handy to have an RPG *SRVPGM that has 
some functions for handling character field manipulation.  For this 
case, a procedure that just uses the %trim() BIF should work nicely.

Another function I've found handy is a one that converts a character 
field to a varying character field (mostly for calling other RPG 
subprocedures).
