What impact has the APT_STRING_PADCHAR environmental variable in datastage jobs?
Do we have to add it or is it present by default when creating a project?
Thanks

It specifies the character used to pad strings, particularly Char(N) data types. Its default value is 0x00. You can change this default in the Administrator. To override the default in a particular job, add the environment variable as a job parameter - use $PROJDEF as the default value for the job parameter, and override as necessary when submitting a job run request.
