Just to make sure you understand what happens
{ between items removes any spaces
< leaves one space between items
& adds (concatenates) the items together
  without changing the spaces that may exist

lets say you have 1 = " abc "; 2 eq " def "
x=1{2; ' x would be equal to " abcdef "
x=1<2; ' x would be equal to " abc def "
x=1&2; ' x would be equal to " abc  def "

If you will notice, it has no effect on the
other edges of the text strings

To remove leading edge spaces you may see this
in code x=""{a to left justify text data

You may also see this x=a{"" to remove trailing
spaces
