It has been found that, after the AS/400 operating system is upgraded to
V4R5, LEI for AS/400 R3.01.03 or LEI for AS/400 R3.1a no longer trims
spaces from fields as they are transferred to Notes. This occurs with
Direct Transfer and Replication Activities.

The issue is most noticeable when viewing the data in the Notes database.
The data will be followed by several spaces. This can also cause
replication conflicts if "Disable Trimming of Trailing Spaces" is NOT
checked, and the replication conflicts will then cause unnecessary
insert/deletes to occur as well.

Solution:

This issue was reported to Lotus Quality Engineering and has been addressed
in LEI for iSeries MU 3.1a 01.

This fix works in conjunction with OS/400 V4R5 PTF SF65118. Note that
neither the MU nor the OS/400 PTF alone will resolve this issue. They are
BOTH required to address this issue.

Supporting Information:

After upgrading to OS/400 V4R5, LEI for AS/400 R3.01.03 or LEI for AS/400
R3.1a right-pad appends character data with spaces to fill the field.
Example: A field is defined as 15 characters in length, and it is populated
with 9 characters, which become followed by 6 spaces. This happens
regardless of the fact that the option to "disable trimming of text
trailing spaces" has not been selected.

We have upgraded our OS400 to V4R5 and this killed off our LEI.
We re-installed LEI and used the PTF's to move it up to the latest
version.
LEI now brings down the data from our AS/400 in to Notes BUT now includes
trailling spaces, which means our Notes application thinks the data is
'new' rather than a refresh.
Our AS/400 person is blaming Notes.
Our Notes person is blaming the AS/400.

Has anybody experienced anything similar and how did you get rid of those
pesky trailing spaces?  (Yes, the connection document has all the
necessary remove trailing spaces options selected!)

Thanks
