Issue : The tab space after the string is removed after reading in by the jar

[jatinbajaj777]

The tab space after any string value in a column is removed after reading in by the jar. The length of the below data frame is different.

+---------+------------+-----------------+------------+
|Text_Only|Text_Tab_Beg| Text_Tab_Mid|Text_Tab_End|
+---------+------------+-----------------+------------+
| ABCDEFGH| ABCDEFGH|ABCDEFGH IJKLMNOP| ABCDEFGH|
+---------+------------+-----------------+------------+

Function.length gives below results

Text_Only=8
Text_Tab_Beg=9
Text_Tab_End=8

The input data is thus changed removing the end tab space

@jatinbajaj777 Can you please provide a basic SAS7BDAT file which causes this error?

[jatinbajaj777]

Attaching the sample SAS7BDAT file which covers all above scenarios.

atest.sas7bdat.txt

Also, the code below to generate the SAS7BDAT file.

Text_Only     = "ABCDEFGH";
Text_Tab_Beg  = cats( '09'x, "ABCDEFGH" );
Text_Tab_End  = cats( "ABCDEFGH", '09'x );
Text_Tab_Mid  = cats( "ABCDEFGH", '09'x, "IJKLMNOP" );

@jatinbajaj777 Can you also provide that same data in a common format (like CSV) so we can see what it should look like?
