Keeping leading spaces in field

[TheBirdman]

I have a field that is coming in with a leading space that I need to keep, but when my map in ECMap writes it out to my database, the field is gone. I added a step to write the field out to a memory variable and then put it out to the log before putting it in the database, and there is no space. So, for some reason, it is loosing the leading space. Anybody know what I can do to keep the space?

In the map, have you tried setting the justification? Are you mapping alpha-numeric to alpha-numeric?

One other suggestion, would be to pad the inbound mapped
data with a special character, then strip the character
in your application, or leave it alone; and stip the
character in an outbound map. Just a suggestion!
