A compare using = adds trailing blanks; use == if you need an exact match.

Subject: REXX/COBOL conversion question
Classification: Confidential
I have the following:
COBOL:
05 FR-KWY PIC X(12).
IF FR-KEY=SPACES
MOVE......
REXX:
IF fr_key = ' ' THEN
Move......
Are these 2 statements equivalent? I suspect REXX will do a 1 -by compare vs. a
12 byte compare for COBOL.
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks in advance,
