DEFINE VARIABLE a AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE b AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
a = "123".
b = "123 ".

MESSAGE a = b
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.

MESSAGE LENGTH(a) = LENGTH(b)
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.


Does anyone know, why the first equals returns true? Are whitespaces ignored on the right side? Because a whitespace on the left would cause the equals to be false. It also doesn't matter how many whitespaces there are on the right side.

Thank you all
