I thought I'd seen something and found

<<As of version 1.02, all string comparisons (CHAR, VARCHAR, or CLOB) do not
take into account trailing blanks.>>

Is this ever likely to change?

If it isn't then I don't have to bother about RTIMing VARCHARs (woopee) if it is then I have a lot of work.

ps there isn't a similar announcement about null's that I missed is there?

Roy,

No.

No, the NULL behavior for CHAR, VARCHAR, CLOB columns will not ever be
changed unless the SQL standard for NULL behaviors change.
