No attached PDF. Removal of blanks from a number would normally be by way of DFDL "padding" and "trimming" properties.
You need dfdl:textNumberJustification property, also textTrimKind, textPadKind, textNumberPadCharacter. You can also use textNumberPattern to indicate that a number may have leading spaces or zeros, but this is mostly about output when those leading zeros are required. Padding on left == Right Justified Padding on right == Left Justified Padding around both sides = Center Justified.
