Strange characters in data

[Jim Hamer]

Terry,


Is it possible that QTP doesn't realize that you have changed the field.
I wonder if the field is automatically truncated in the initial buffer
and when you manually truncate the field later, QTP fails to recognize
there was a change and no update is done. 


Try this. Save the value of the field, and after the OUTPUT use an ITEM
statement to really change the value of the field. Try all 9s or spaces
or 'Terry Pickering'. Then, put the saved value back in the field with a
second ITEM statement. I think this might help.

In QTP I've tried doing a truncate on the field, re-defined it,
everything to no avail. Any suggestions on how to strip out these
trailing characters using QTP?
