Save it as a CSV file or a tab delimited text file. Read it with a sequential file stage and load it to the database. Pass it via a transformer stage and use trim to trim the leading and trailing white spaces. Make sure you specify the columns as varchar.

Welcome Aboard :D
How do you plan to read the Excel file through datastage?
You have a ODBC driver for Excel on Unix to read from the Excel file?
If I had to do it, I would convert the Excel file to a csv file first and then go forward from there.
It's much easiers that way

Why is it there's never time to do it right, but always time to do it again?
It will require the same amount of work no matter which way you do it - DataStage is not a magic bullet.
