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

Whatever value you set in the admin will be used as a default. If you want to overide the default value, then you need to import this env. variable in your job and set the override value.

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.
