[SOLVED]STRIP not working properly

Hi,

I have the following string and try to remove the '.' from it. I am using STRIP but not returning me the correct string.

Below is the code I am using.
-SET &DISTNAME=STRIP(32,'Aishwarya Consolidates Pvt. Ltd.','.','A32');
-TYPE DISTNAME &DISNAME
-EXIT

This is the output I am getting
-TYPE DISTNAME Aishwarya Consoli
DISTNAME Aishwarya Consoli
-EXIT

what am I missing here?

Works for me when using the right variable. Wink

DISTNAME Aishwarya Consolidates Pvt Ltd

That was the typo.

Anyway the issue was with the length field. I had that as &DLEN. Once I change that to use EVAL, it started working.

-SET &DISTNAME=STRIP(&DLEN.EVAL,'Aishwarya Consolidates Pvt. Ltd.','.','A&DLEN.EVAL');

Thanks
