- ENVTRIM trims from the left or right to a specified count of
- characters the value associated with environment variable and re-stores
- that variable and value to the environment area. One or more environment
- variables can be truncated in a single invocation of ENVTRIM. The
- environment variables in the PARENT process are modified.
-
- This capability is useful, for example, for truncating full
- Novell Netware username strings to 3-character strings used by
- network-aware programs such as WordPerfect.
