when we debug it shows value of v1 as 'RISHIBBBB'

So neither trim nor trimr even substring also does not seem to work as

shows substring value as 'RISHIBBBBB'

Note that if you look at the storage for the variable-length
variable there might be blanks (or other remnants) on the end -- but that
is just the storage. The length of a variable-length variable is in the 2
(or 4) bytes preceding the data area. That length will be 5. Then,
whenever you use that variable-length variable RPG will only look at the
characters specified by that length prefix. The remainder will be
ignored.
