Razzak: Very handy. Used it to understand a TAB problem.
Would there be r:oom in the toolbox for a "R(etain T(railing SPACE" function? (RTSPACE(value)) Example: vHumpty = '1234<sp>x<sp>' SET VAR vDumpty = (RTSPACE(SGET(.vHumpty,3,5)))) SHOW VAR vDumpty = '<sp>x<sp>' R:Base is appreciated more every day, Bruce -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of A.

This is the expected behavior. Leading spaces as well, specifically, when using the (SLEN()), (SGET()), or other SM functions. Implementation of (ISSPACE(value)) functions is the result of such behavior. (ISSPACE(value)) checks the first character of a TEXT string. The function returns a 1 if true and a 0 if false. The ISSPACE function evaluates as true when the first character is a space or one of the following: LF (char (10)), CR (char (13)), VT (char (11)), TAB (char (9)), FF (char (12)), EOL (char (254)).
