RTRIM keyword in COMPUTE command explained

Troubleshooting


Problem

I am running SPSS for Windows. I wish to use the RTRIM procedure to get rid of some trailing characters in my string values. I don't really understand how the RTRIM procedure works, though. Often times it seems like it is not doing what it is supposed to be doing, but I don't get any error messages that indicates something is wrong. Could you clarify the RTRIM procedure?
