[RBASE-L] - Re: Adding a space to the end of a variable

[Doug Hamilton]

Bob, wasn't (CHAR(255)) a hard space?

R>
set echo on
set var vtext = ('ABCD')
set var vText = (.vText + (CHAR(32)) )
set v vlen inte = (SLEN(.vTEXT))
sho var vtext
ABCD
sho var vlen
          4
set var vtext = ('ABCD')
set var vText = (.vText + (CHAR(255)) )
set v vlen inte = (SLEN(.vTEXT))
sho var vtext
ABCDÿ
sho var vlen
          5
ret
Or maybe (CHAR(255)) was a smiley-Y, although it showed at the R>, 
pasted above, as a blank; email client probably made it the smiley-Y.

I need to add a space to the end of a text variable, such as :

set var vText = (.vText + '  ')
or
set var vText = (.vText + (CHAR(32)) )

Neither of these add the space.

It is probably staring me in the face and I just can't see it today!

Thanks,
Bob
