Dynamic treatments that use custom detail tags in SAS^® Customer Intelligence Studio do not remove trailing blanks when you export to a file or database table.

The following example output demonstrates the behavior:

"AGE"	"TAG_ELEMENT1_PACKTAG"	"TAG_ELEMENT2_PACKTAG"	"TAG_ELEMENT_3_PACKTAG"
56	"CC        ,CC"	"CC        ,DM"	"CC        ,EM"
62	"CC        ,CC"	"DM        ,CC"	"EM        ,CC"

As you can see, there are blanks between the values. These blanks are added because the exported file fills in blanks until the field length that is defined in the dynamic list is reached.

The expected behavior is that the blanks are trimmed so that the output looks like the following example:

"AGE"	"TAG_ELEMENT1_PACKTAG"	"TAG_ELEMENT2_PACKTAG"	"TAG_ELEMENT_3_PACKTAG"
56	"CC,CC"         	"CC,DM"         	"CC,EM"
62	"CC,CC"	                "DM,CC"         	"EM,CC"
