RTRIM

The RTRIM function removes characters from the right of a text expression, with all the rightmost characters that appear in another text expression removed. The function begins scanning the base text expression from its last character and removes all characters that appear in the trim expression until reaching a character that is not in the trim expression and then returns the result.

To leading characters, use LTRIM. To trim both leading or trailing characters, use TRIM.

Return Value

TEXT or NTEXT based on the data type of the first argument.
