    Hi Jaunt,

    Just put a space in pad character field. If you highlight the box you will see it is holding the space you entered if it looks like this

    Hi Kim

    Good morning.

    Text Pad looks suitable but I would like to know which character to be used to create space.

    Kindly share your thoughts on this.

    Thanks,

    Check the box for Text Pad Character Required, see if that helps.

    Hi Kim,

    Thank you for your guidance.

    As per your suggestion, I tried justification option to create a gap between routing number. But it's not creating a space.

    My desired result should look like below.

    1. try right justify for the routing number

    2. this is normal for US ACH files, I suggest not changing.

    Hi Again,

    I have created an EFT file using default definition available on CRONUS USA company. I have few queries on that.

    1. How to bring space in first row between priority code (Blue color box) and Immediate Destination (Orange color box).

    2. For last  5 rows, I am seeing continuous '9's. Is it normal? If not how to restrict it?

    Pick one of the standard EFT data exchange definitions and begin to edit from there.

    If you have already started a new definition copy the codeunit units, tables, etc from one of the provided definitions.
