[open-cobol-list] File path.

[studiok]

Hi Everyone.
I've a problem with file path and cannot get "CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST" to work.
Nor can I open input an existing and not empty sequential file (file 
status 35).
In a pic x(50) working storage variable, I string end-string, according 
to my needings, a variable lenght alfanumeric value.
As an example "/abc/def/xyz/filename" where file name is pic x(8) to pic 
x(15) characters. Base name of file may vary in lenght.
MicroFocus compile and runtime ignored trailing spaces. I suspect OC 
does not.
Is the file path variable to be something terminated?
Thanks
