MQSeries.net :: View topic - Suppress the Trim on input property at field level in TDS

MQEnthu · Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 8:10 am Post subject:

Hi All,

Message: Fixed length
Wire format: TDS
In the TDS message set properties, there is option to set the "Trim on input" which describes how the trimming has to be done. Mine in this case is set to the default value "Leading and Trailing Whitespaces". i.e. it trims the leading and trailing white spaces of the fields with a physical type of Text.
It trims the spaces (leading/trailing) of the field of data type INTEGER as well. My requirement is that I do not want to trim the leading/trailing spaces, instead throw error for integer fields if they spaces at end.

I know that by setting the property to "Trim Padding Chars", we can avoid trimming the spaces in integer characters (instead it trims the padding characters mentioned).
However I do not want to use this solution as message set contains the many message definitions and we do not know the impact of chaning this property at the message set level on other integrations using diff. msg definitions.

I am checking if we can suppress this property at the field level. Suppose, if I just want to not to trim a perticular field, can I do it.

Hope my question is clear.

Please help
