Hi All
E-sql trim function is not working as I want to remove the space from string.
I have tried both the syntax trim(string_name) & TRIM(TRAILING ' ' FROM string_name)
but output is not comming properly.
Please reply asap |

You need to assign the result of the TRIM to a variable using SET, TRIM doesn't alter the input data. |

If you're working on "JOHN SMITH " and are getting "JOHN SMITH" then that's working as designed because TRIM doesn't remove embedded spaces. In any language not just ESQL.
If you're getting "JOHN SMITH " then you either have a code bug or reason for a PMR.
If you're gettting "BOOK TRAINING" then you've got the new knowledge level detector feature enabled. _________________ Honesty is the best policy.

The knowledge level detector feature enabled on mqseries.net gives you "contact admin"  |
