HI,

I have the following piece of text in a PIC X(80) field:

'DECLAN LIVES IN IRELAND '.

I want to move this piece of text to a variable length field and remove the trailing spaces.
I have used the INSPECT REVERSE FUNCTION command but it removes ALL spaces and I get the following:
'DECLANLIVESINIRELAND'

What I want is a field with
'DECLAN LIVES IN IRELAND'.

Can anyone help me on this? I have unsuccessfully searched other posts for an answer.

Thanks!

Please note there are trailing spaces on the text that I didn't show on my first message:
