Documentation
Definition
This indicator is only relevant when a file is imported in an EBCDIC format. It is used to establish whether ASCII spaces (HEX value 20, ASCII value 32) in the imported EBCDIC file in non-numerical fields are ignored. Ignoring them means that the spaces are no longer converted if the entire content of the field is only filled with these characters. EBCDIC characters with the HEX value 20 would normally be converted into the ASCII character with the number 128 (HEX value 80).
Background: Before the Unicode conversion this was the default procedure for importing.
