I have a message set with over a 1000 fields which I imported from a C header file. Problem is I am using the message set to write to a COBOL app and do not want the padding char to be NUL. Is there a way I can change all the fields to padding char SPACES if I export the message set?

In the future is there anything I can do during the import to override the padding char?

What you can try is making 2 similar message sets with only 1 field, one with padding nul and one with space. Export both and look at the difference. Export the large message set, try to make the cnages and import the message set again. No garantees here, but worth the try.
