DMEE trims spaces in a field, however not any conversion is required

[j_otten]

The requirement: 2 numeric values in 1 ‘fpayhx’ field separated by 2 spaces.

In dmee this field gets trimmed, (condensed) and 1 space will be deleted.

I tried ‘everything’, (in stead of 2 spaces, 2 dots..) and using atoms with offsets, and replacing 1st dot by an A and 2nd dot with a B, (instead of a A a space, instead of B a space) that is working. However if both dots are each replaced by a space, the trim occurs and 1 space is lost.

Using offsets doesnot have any effect in the result.

Hi,

you said you used Atoms - did you choose Atom Handling = 2? If not - then please try with that one - system should automatically separate Atom content by a single space.

If yes and it didn't work then use this way - create 2 atoms as you have and add a third one with constant. In that one enter ALT+255 (click on ALT and hold it and then enter 255 on numeric keyboard) - this will create a space which will be visibe in DMEE:
