Does anybody know, how to remove trailing blanks from a Dialog Manager variable? I need this variable as Mail address. To send the Mail to an variable address, I have an input via CRTFORM. Example: -SET &MAILADR = ' '; -CRTFORM -" <&MAILADR " -VMS MAIL/SEND..........."MRGATE""RTO::&MAILADR""" The variable &MAILADR has 30 character. The problem is, if the input is shorter then the variable I get an mismatch. MAIL does not find the address with trailing blanks. In the SUBROUTINE LIBRARY USERS MANUAL I can't found any solution. Thanks for your help!!!! Annette

The first problem may be your MAIL/SEND command (unless you mistyped your example. I used the following .FEX to send mail to myself and had no problem at all with the trailing blanks. It seems that they were ignored, since MEMV01::SHELTRY does not take up the full 30 characters. Also, try the <T.&MAILADDR instead of <&MAILADDR. I'd be interested in hearing if this works for you or not.
