You can toggle "Preserve On/Off" via the Edit Entry panel, under the heading of Options (lower right hand side of screen). Add a slash to Preserve VB record length.

That eliminates the most of the trailing spaces, but also eliminates the leading spaces. The result are what I use to paste into email. Works well with JCL, but console logs get a bit compressed visually. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zaromil Tisler Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 7:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: PCOM and trailing blanks in copy & paste Does any user of IBM PCOM know a way to change the cut and paste behaviour so that trailing blanks are (automatically) stripped off? I have found no parameter to do that. So, if I want to paste something from the screen into a mail, the easiest way I found is to copy the data into a variable dataset with preserve "trailing blanks = no" and the ftp the dataset to my pc. Anyone having a simpler solution (whatever "simpler" means)? One more question: is there a possibility to disable "truncate the trailing blanks" prompt every time I save a dataset that already has "preserve trailing blanks = no" in the profile?
