 I still get the error ”‘trim’ is not a recognized built-in function name.” while running my program.

I have created simple function 

create function TRIM(@data varchar(20)) returns varchar(100)
as
begin
  declare @str varchar(20)
  set @str = rtrim(ltrim(@data))
  return @str
end

Then I am executing in the following way.

declare @s varchar(25)
set @s = '      Amru '
select TRIM(@s)

And then it returns me the error message:

Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 3
'TRIM' is not a recognized built-in function name.

I don’t know what’s wrong. Can you help me?

    The cause: This error happens because TRIM is introduced in SQL Server and can’t be used in older version of SQL Server.

    Solution: You need to use LTRIM and RTRIM as the following:

    DECLARE @ss varchar(60)
      SET @ss = ' admin '
    
      select RTRIM(LTRIM(@ss))

    Or you can create your own custom function like following if you don’t like using LTRIM, RTRIM everywhere.

    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.TRIM(@string NVARCHAR(max))
     RETURNS NVARCHAR(max)
      BEGIN
       RETURN LTRIM(RTRIM(@string))
      END
    GO
