Subject:      Removing Trailing Blanks from a Macro variable and Index

Hi,
I created a macro variable, IndepVar, that is concatenated with an Index
counter, i.  When I refer to the macro variable in a chart title inside
proc gplot, it displays about 20 trailing blanks despite the trim
statement. How do I remove the trailing blanks?
Thank you,
Patty

data _null_;
 set MaxGraphVars end=eof;
 i+1;
 ii=left(put(i,2.));
 call symput (trim('IndepVar'||ii),_SOURCE_);
 if eof then call symput('Total',ii);
run;

%macro CreateCharts;

%do i=1 %to &Total;

proc gplot data=rawdata uniform;
plot &&DepVar&i * &&IndepVar&i;
  title2 "Raw Data: Varying &&IndepVar&i";
run;
quit;
%end;
%mend;
