Specifies whether trailing blanks should be removed from
input data for character fields. This argument mainly affects
character fields where the target column is a VARCHAR,
except in the case where the input field contains all blanks (see
below for more on this). Valid values are:
Y (trim trailing blanks)
N (do not trim trailing blanks)
In previous versions of the Loader, all input character data
fields had trailing blanks removed. When this argument is set
to N trailing blank characters are not removed from character
fields. If this option is set to N and the input field contains all
blank characters that are not enclosed in double quotes, the
input is not trimmed and blank characters are stored.
Previously, the Loader would have trimmed all blank
characters and treated the input as a null character. The default
option, Y, reflects the previous behavior.
Trimming only applies where the sequence of characters at
the end of the data field is a sequence of space characters (hex
value 0x20). If the input data is multi-byte data and the
cSetConversion(-cc) attribute is set to N, if there are
multi-byte space characters in the input data (such as the hex
value 0x0020 which is the UCS2 representation of a space
character), setting this attribute to Y results in the final 0x20
character being removed, which would result in data
corruption.
If the target column is UCS2 and the final characters have the
hex value 0x0020, the actual character values stored would be
0x0000 because the Loader ensures that a valid two byte
character is stored. When character set conversion is disabled,
HP recommendeds that you set the rightTrim option to N to
avoid any possible data corruption.
