RE: CPYTOIMPF and CSV Format

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jim

I have to agree with Ken here. Regardless of what might or might not be the 
database structure and the "correct" way of translating spaces or something 
else, by convention CSV files for as long as I can remember have removed 
trailing blanks between the commas.

Client Access downloads don't pad with blanks so why does the native utility ?
