Subj:   Re: Mload Trim spaces before loading
 
From:   Michael Larkins



What you are seeking is automatically provided when the column in the table is defined as VARCHAR. Otherwise, even if you trim off the spaces on the way into Teradata (or any database for that fact), once it hits the CHAR defined column, the field will be padded out to the right with spaces - you don't seem to want this. Therefore, make sure you column is of the varying length and you have it covered.
