Problem Note 17712: Character strings are padded with trailing blanks when you use the LIBNAME engine in SAS/ACCESS® Interface to OLE DB
When you update character strings and use the OLEDB LIBNAME engine, the strings are padded with trailing blanks.
Consider the following code example:
libname mylib oledb ...more options... ;
proc sql;
update mylib.strings
set str='abc';
quit;
Assuming that the column STR has a length of 10 characters, the value that is stored in the table will be "abc
".
