trim (default all)

The trim option specifies whether whitespace (blanks, newlines, tabs etc.) should be trimmed from text data before the data is assigned to RPG variables
Note:
  1. Whitespace includes blank, tab, end-of-line, carriage-return, and line-feed.
  2. This option applies only to XML data that is to be assigned to character and UCS-2 RPG variables. Trimming of whitespace is always done for other data types.
  3. This option is mainly provided for XML data from files, but it also applies to XML data from a variable.
  4. Whitespace between XML elements is always ignored. The trim option controls the whitespace within text content of elements and attributes.
