BLANK_TRIMMING

Parameter type	Boolean
Default value	false
Parameter class	Static
Range of values	true | false

BLANK_TRIMMING specifies the data assignment semantics of character datatypes.

Values:

• TRUE

  Allows the data assignment of a source character string or variable to a destination character column or variable even though the source length is longer than the destination length. In this case, however, the additional length over the destination length is all blanks. This value complies with the semantics of SQL92 Transitional Level and above.

• FALSE

  Disallows the data assignment if the source length is longer than the destination length and reverts to SQL92 Entry Level semantics.
