To handle space characters as data
To handle space characters in the tail of a data field as data (not as padding characters), you
must take special considerations in programming.
If you want to search for a field data containing space characters in its tail by using a SEARCH
function, for instance, use any of the following methods:
[Example 1] After downloading a data file, fill the unused spaces in each field with space
characters and then search for the target field data.
[Example 2] Before downloading a data file, substitute any of the characters which will not
be used as effective data, e.g., an asterisk (*), for the space characters in the
host computer.
