Subject: TRIM seems to not work...

Hi Gang,
HAPPY FRIDAY!
I'm having a problem with the trim function on 8.1.6 running on Solaris 8. Here is the code:

spool /export/home/mp5i/r5prompts/input/user.txt;

select TRIM(TRAILING ' ' FROM usr_code)

from r5users;

spool off;

When I edit the file produced there are trailing blanks after the data. Am I missing something here? I just want the data without the trailing blanks afterward.

TIA,

-Rocky
