Thanks: 1 times
I am testing a text value on the first run through eg Visible when hilo = 'Hi' and this works without any problems. If I then save the data to an sql server and retrieve it later for editing then the same test will always return false. I can get round this by using contains and I am assuming the the data loaded from the sql database pads out the text in the persistent data when it is loaded so it is not an exaxt match. Is there an easy way round this, or is this just the way the software works ?

1. You should be able to see the actual data during simulation - no need to guess whether this is a padding issue. It is important to understand what you have before trying to workaround here.

2. Not MobileTogether will add spaces when loaded from database, but the database itself. This happens if you are using CHAR type to save text in the database. Use VARCHAR to save it without spaces

3. If it is really padding, and you still have no idea what is happening, you can help yourself by using trim-string function which will remove leading and trailing spaces, i.e. trim-string( hilo ) = 'Hi'
