Just an interesting find I wanted to share. When I create my cursor with traditional c(N) widths, the CSV export does NOT have any extra spaces added to the output.

pseudoid,zip3,prov03,prov03other,prov06,prov07,prov07other,prov08
"Pseudo1","333","C001","","10","C021","","C025"
"Pseudo2","333","C001","","20","C021","","C026"
"Pseudo3","333","C001","","30","C021","","C019"


But when I use varchar v(N) field declarations, it appends spaces to the end of the field values:

pseudoid,zip3,prov03,prov03other,prov06,prov07,prov07other,prov08
"Pseudo1 ","333","C001"," ","10 ","C021"," ","C025" "Pseudo2 ","333","C001"," ","20 ","C021"," ","C026" "Pseudo3 ","333","C001"," ","30 ","C021"," ","C019"



Here's the declaration:

CREATE CURSOR curProvData (iid i, PseudoID c(20), Zip3 c(3), Prov03 c(4), Prov03Other c(254), Prov06 c(8), Prov07 c(4), Prov07Other c(254), Prov08 c(4))
