Management of whitespace in an inhouse FIXED business document field

Problem

when using a FIXED inhouse business document field spaces at the end of the field are not present in the mapping.log or when using the field in DML expressions


Resolution

with a delimiter type FIXED, space characters on the right are considered padding characters and removed in Integrator internal format, so it''s normal to not see them in mapping.log for instance.
but they will be back in the messages generated beteween two activities or broadcasted outside of Integrator.
