Manipulating character strings

 

When the queue manager returns character data to the application, the queue manager always pads the character data with blanks to the defined length of the field. The queue manager does not return null-terminated strings, but we can use them in your input. Therefore, when copying, comparing, or concatenating such strings, use the string functions strncpy, strncmp, or strncat.

Do not use the string functions that require the string to be terminated by a null (strcpy, strcmp, and strcat). Also, do not use the function strlen to determine the length of the string; use instead the sizeof function to determine the length of the field.
