The SET NULLS ON tells XEDIT to not translate null characters to blanks. It does not affect the showing of unwanted trailing blanks when you have 'verify h n *' in effect. In fact, xedit pads all records to the specified LRECL with blanks when it displays the file; it does not stop at the longest record's length.
