I am using the advanced edition of Webfacing, version 7.0.0, build
20070202_0031

When I use the getFieldValueWithTransform method I am getting the same
value returned, no matter what I specify as the transform type.

For example, if the field "FIELD" is a 3 byte character field, containing
the value "AA " (note the trailing blank), the following code: (integer
values as taken from the interface IHTMLStringTransforms)

-<%=FMT.getFieldValue("FIELD")%>-
-<%=FMT.getFieldValueWithTransform("FIELD",0)%>-
-<%=FMT.getFieldValueWithTransform("FIELD",1)%>-
-<%=FMT.getFieldValueWithTransform("FIELD",2)%>-
-<%=FMT.getFieldValueWithTransform("FIELD",3)%>-
-<%=FMT.getFieldValueWithTransform("FIELD",4)%>-
-<%=FMT.getFieldValueWithTransform("FIELD",5)%>-
-<%=FMT.getFieldValueWithTransform("FIELD",6)%>-

Will produce the following output :-

-AA-
-AA-
-AA-
-AA-
-AA-
-AA-
-AA-
-AA-

This is a problem because the trailing blank has been lost. If I specify
the value as 1 (or QUOTED_STRING_TRANSFORM) I had expected that the value
would be returned in quotes - but it is returned as a trimmed string, with
no quotes no matter what option I specify.

What is the correct way to retrieve the value of the field, including any
trailing blanks?

Stu
