My requirement is based on D365 F&O to add multiple additional spaces at end of string value and later I am exporting it in xml.

Somehow only single space is coming in the output but while debugging I can see multiple spaces getting added as per code. Even if I'm trying to add in between same is happening

Code snippet:

value = "Test";
paddedvalue = value + strRep(" ",10) + "*";

Expected Value = Test *

Output = Test *

I am using visual studio 2019 to write code.

Is there any feature automatically trimming the whitespaces or I'm missing any thing ?

Hi Martin,

I'm checking the output in XML and info log.

For info log output I'm using code:

info(paddedvalue); or info(strfmt("%1*",paddedvalue));

In both outputs spaces are getting trimmed.

How are you checking the result? Are you looking at the actual XML code in a text editor?

I'm asking because if you use a view that displays XML in HTML, spaces are suppressed there.

Hey,

I am not a developer, so sorry if the suggestion is noob. However, have you tried to use Char(32) for space and Char(160) for non braking space?

If you are creating a report, check if there are report properties like the following f.e.

Kind regards, Adis
