Hi

Can anyone please give me a solution for this..I have a field in my panel of length say 15.I have to get that field value from user and substitute it in a corresponding variable in skeleton file.I am able to do that.

The scenario is:

If the user fills only 5 chars out of 15 in the field,then my corresponding skeleton variable is also capturing only those 5 chars and its not showing up the remaining 10 unfilled chars.What i thought was the rest 10 will be shownup as spaces(as i had initialised the field with spaces in my panel) in my skeleton variable which is what i need.I dont know how to go about it, whether anything can done in PANEL or in my skeleton file or in my REXX code...

I tried using the attribute JUST (RIGHT) PAD (' ') in my panel which preserves the trailing pad characters for the input field but of no use.If anyone have any info on that please share with me.Hope i am clear.

Thanks

According to the fine manual, trailing blanks are always stripped from the value before the variable is filled in the skeleton.

You need to post some of your code, so we can better understand your problem.

What does your skeleton look like? Please show a print of the required output record.
