Apologies for confusing you, that was certainly not my intention. Uploaded is a simple block input program like we have in our Order Entry programs. Compile this program as a Comet16 object. Run the program under Comet16 and input the value 'ABC' for work6a$ and 'DEF' for work6c$. You'll see a result that we've expected all along ( and by "all along" I mean going back to the early Q days ) in a block input - trailing blanks for the block are stripped. work6a$ will be length 6 and have a value of ABC followed by three blanks. work6b$ will have a length of 6 and have a value of six blanks. work6c$ will be length 3 ( nothing but blanks followed its value and they get stripped ) and have a value of DEF. work6d$ will be length 0 and have no value. Now run the program under Comet32 and input the same values. Each field has been set to the strip() of itself. This is an entirely different behavior. We have one end-user who has encountered this issue and we've gone into the program and changed our comparison ( if spcnbr$ ne 'six blanks here' then... was changed to if strip(spcnbr$) ne '' then... ).
