Need Help Removing Spaces with MapEdit for 204 File

  • 1.  Need Help Removing Spaces with MapEdit for 204 File

    Posted 04/28/26 09:09 AM

    I'm having trouble removing unwanted spaces in a Sterling MapEdit transformation for a 204 EDI file. The client's element delimiter contains a special character, and despite trying Trim functions, spaces still appear in the output.

    Could someone please help me troubleshoot this? Here are a few specific questions:

    • How can I ensure the Trim function correctly interprets the special delimiter?
    • Are there particular MapEdit settings to check in the Input Card or global variables?
    • Any tips on debugging to locate where the extra spaces are introduced?

    Thank you in advance for your guidance. I've looked through documentation and samples, but I haven't been able to resolve this consistent spacing issue.
