Work Areas

[Former Member]

The following code initializes a component of my

work area called field_1. But the field is not compacted,

as I would expect. Instead it contains spaces, meaning

that I cannot simply pass it to a SQL statement without

first removing the blank spaces.

READ TABLE myTable INDEX 1 INTO myWorkArea.

myTable-field_1 = "ABC" --- Character length 10

myWorkArea-field_1 = " ABC ". -- Character length 10

Try assigning into string and/or use condense statement

Normally it should not happen if your work area is line type of my table.

Hi,

Check if the field that you are using in WHERE clause for the query has type Char10
