Hi Paul,
I'm thinking you're using the incorrect dbparm: PBTrimCatCharColumns
Use PBTrimCharColumns, see the attached dbparm pdf.
PBTrimCharColumns
Description Specifies whether PowerBuilder should trim trailing spaces from data values
retrieved from the following datatypes: Char, Char for Bit Data, VarChar, and
VarChar for Bit Data.
Applies to ODBC
OLE DB
Syntax PBTrimCharColumns=value
Default value 'NO'
Usage This parameter can only be set in the pbodb125.ini file. For ODBC, you can set
the TrimSpaces parameter in the Database Profile Setup dialog box or in code
to perform the same function.
By default, PowerBuilder trims spaces from the following datatypes: Char,
Char for Bit Data, VarChar, and VarChar for Bit Data.
If your DBMS makes a distinction between Char data with trailing spaces and
Char data without trailing spaces when evaluating a WHERE clause expression,
you might receive the message Row changed between retrieve and
update when your DataWindow object’s update properties are set to “Key and
updateable columns.” To prevent this, change your DataWindow object’s
update properties. In embedded SQL, you can check Sqlca.Sqlnrows after each
update to determine if the update took place. Avoid using Char data columns
in the WHERE clause of an UPDATE or DELETE statement when
PBTrimCharColumns='YES'.
Examples To specify that PowerBuilder should trim trailing spaces, add the following
line to the section for the database you are accessing:
PBTrimCharColumns='YES'
