That's not true for me, at least in Unidata - it inserts a literal space. 
Either there's a system option that controls it, or your application doesn't 
care about spaces in the data ;-)  Try a "CA/ /*" after entering some spaces 
and see what you see?

BOTW_DEV2>ae trin.temp test
Top of New "TEST" in "TRIN.TEMP".
*--: i
001= 1
002= 2
003= 3
004=
005= 5
006= 6
*--: p
Top.
001: 1
002: 2
003: 3
004:
005: 5
006: 6
Bottom.
*--: ca/ /*
Changed all occurrences (1) of " " to "*" in record.
*--: p
Top.
001: 1
002: 2
003: 3
004: *
005: 5
006: 6
Bottom.

Hi,
I use a single space which is nulled out by the editor.

Well, I'll be a son of a biscuit eater! I never knew that. I've done it the 
same way Martin does for 35 years. I just checked it in Jbase and it works. You 
learn something new every day. Of course, I consider a day a total waste if I 
don't either learn something new or catch hell about something. As you can 
guess, I don't have many wasted days.

Thanks, Dan!
Charlie
