I have my input and output columns defined as Varchar(100). So that's not what is causing it. I even tried

Code: Select all

	Trim(Trim(InCol), 'x','B')

But it still returns:

Code: Select all

AAAAAAAxxxxxBBBBBBBBBBxxxxxxxx
Whale.
Then you can verify to see, if you have some un-printable character at end of the string.

As a test, try giving a hard-coded value to the Trim() function.

You are right. Gosh! I feel embarrassed. I should have checked. There is in fact an unprintable character at the end of the string. I removed it and it works fine. :oops:

Ray,

Don't bother digging further. :(

DSguru2B,

Tried hard-coded. It worked.



Sorry for the false alarm, Folks.

Have a good one,
Whale.
