Hi,
UNSTRING ... DELIMITED BY ALL SPACES INTO ...
That should work...
See you, Blux"The idiots dare everything. It's even how we recognize them."

Thank you, I tried
but apparently it doesn't work!
There are still whitespaces
that I want to only eliminate the whitespaces on the right
for example:
'DE SEVRES '
do not delete the space between 'de' and 'sevres'
See you later -
Ok, so in this case, the only solution is to redefine your input area as a table:
05 toto occurs 200.
10 str pic x.
move tavariable to toto.
And then you make a loop that decrements i from 200 to 1 and you test x(i) until x(i) is different from space. As soon as your condition is true, you copy the rest into another variable (with 'string').

Hello
If at first, you don't know where to put the spaces, it seems difficult!
'DE SEVRES " How can you know that you need to leave a space between DE and
SEVRES???
Once this issue is determined, the rest is solved...

He can only do it if he knows in advance the words (or the lengths) from which he has to remove the spaces!!
