Details

Specifies the use of the ASCII 32 space as the global filler value to be used to expand the current value of a field in a flat file, if the field's allowable length is greater than the length of its current export value.

If you use SetSpaceFill, the action SetFixedLength, FixedLenRJ or FixedLenLJ must also be used to set the maximum length of the field. Use ResetFieldVariables to clear this setting.

Example
SetSpaceFill()

Note that the action specifies the use of the ASCII 32 "space" as the filler character.
