Component : Endevor Software Change Manager

Cause

Trailing blank are causing the issue.

Resolution

Issue occurs with RECFM=VB for BASE library, here are the possible 2 solutions:

1. Use RECFM=FB for BASE library. in that case Endevor source manager ignores trailing spaces during update.

2. When trimTrailingWhitespace option (Files: Trim Trailing Whitespace) in VSCode is enabled, it automatically removes trailing spaces when saving the file. So just uncheck it and it should leave trailing spaces.
