John,
  Since AS400 works with EBCDIC fixed length records and PC's work with
ASCII variable length records, I've always seen problems transferring files
with trialing blanks.
  My solution has been to select the fields I want in such a way that the
last field is never blank.  Address files usually have State as non-blank,
so I put that last.  Surely, you can sequence the fields in such a way as
well. No?

Hello folks,

I have a file transfer where the last field may contain 1 or more trailing
blanks.  Is there a setting in client access that would actually download
the trailing blanks?  Or am I just dreaming?


The last field on the /400 contains '123      '

but downloads as '123'

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
John
