The processing functions for character-like arguments ignore the trailing blanks for input parameters with fixed lengths.
The processing functions for character-like arguments cannot be used directly as operands of arithmetic expressions but can be used as operands of descriptive functions.
The type string of the return values must be respected mainly when using functions in comparisons.
