I think I got it. Java string trim does trim whitespace at the beginning or ending of a string.
erprototypes trim is more a lack of padding spaces to fit a fixed width character db field when strings are coming out or into a db. A varchar really doesn't need padding, so a rtrim may not do much with a varchar. (Which is what I am seeing, I think.) A string also may be truncated to fit in a too small db field; here a varchar may be trimmed to fit. Where's that caffeine?

I thought the default rtrim would/should trim spaces at the end of a string, but I have strings with "NAME ", i.e. a single space after some non whitespace characters. Should the rtrim type of string have a trailing space? Or should it have maybe one? Also, is there a good explanation of all the data types we find in erprototypes? There are quite a few types in there. Thanks, Greg Brown [email protected] -- [1][email protected] _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
