I am having some probems with a string field that contains spaces. My input message have 5 spaces at the begining.
When I try to select this field into a not null field in a database I get errors complaining that the field is null, when in reality it is spaces (SQLcode -804 rc 09). How do I prevent this?

The CWF element definition is :
Physical Type: Fixed Length String
Lenght Count : 5
Length Units : Bytes
Byte Alignment : 1 Byte
String Justification: Left Justify
Padding Character: SPACE
Skip Count: 0
Encoding Null: NULLLogicalValue

I tried to do the select directly and with a passthru. The result is the same.
Thanks

The problem is in the Padding Character, all padding spaces will be removed from your input field, for an input field with only spaces this will result in a null value.
