Is there a problem with the function Trim on PB 6.5?

Brian,

What are the symptoms that lead you to this conclusion?

I was trying to use Trim and later LeftTrim to trim a string.  The string
was local that I had set to a value from a column in a datawindow.  Neither
of the two functions seemed to work.

I also tried the PFC of_trim function.  I assume it also use Trim and it did
not work either.

I have now replaced Trim with a for loop that removes the spaces.

    Could you post the code where you use the trim function?

Works absolutely fine for me...
Check for Nulls my friend (hint - read help), don't write any loops :-))
