String together fields in 4GL

laura-patenaude

Wondering if there is an API that will take multiple fields and string them together removing trailing spaces from each field?  I'm hoping I don't have to do this manually.  I know Cobol has a STRING function but it doesn't strip the trailing spaces off and I need just a single space between each field.  Anyone have any thoughts?  I don't see one in the API manual.  Thanks in advance.

Lawson has several string functions, all with varying results. They are found in the Document for Developers: Lawson 4GL

Application Program Interfaces Guides. I've used a few of them but find the STRING command serves most (not all) of my purposes. I've used ... STRING fldA delimited by SPACES, fldB delimited by SPACES into fldZ. (SPACES will look for the first occurrence of more than one space). You can also use dblquote-space-space-dblquote.
