I think I got it. 
 
Java string trim does trim whitespace at the beginning or ending of a string.
 
erprototypes trim is more a lack of padding spaces to fit a fixed width character db field when strings are coming out or into a db.
 
A varchar really doesn't need padding, so a rtrim may not do much with a varchar. (Which is what I am seeing, I think.)
 
A string also may be truncated to fit in a too small db field; here a varchar may be trimmed to fit.
 
Where's that caffeine?

HI,
 
I have an eomodel which uses a Frontbase varchar and the string rtrim  variety to put strings into the db.
 
I thought the default rtrim would/should trim spaces at the end of a string, but I have strings with "NAME ", i.e. a single space after some non whitespace characters. 
 
Should the rtrim type of string have a trailing space? Or should it have maybe one?
 
Also, is there a good explanation of all the data types we find in erprototypes? There are quite a few types in there.
 
Thanks,
