I'm mapping several elements from my source XML document to one element in m
y
destination XML document.  Normally I would use a string concatenate functio
d
to accomplish this task.  However, the destination element is positionally
dependent.  The first element that I use has to take 20 characters, includin
g
spaces.  I feed each source element into a string concatenate functiod as th
e
first parameter, the second parameter is a character string filled with
spaces.  The result of this functoid goes to a left string where I grab the
exact length of the string that I need.  The problem appears to be that the
functoids are trimming my string for me.  Does anyone have any suggestions
how I can fix this problem?

The spaces are preserved.  Are you looking at the output file from Visual
Studio or Internet Explorer (IE)?  If so, IE will not show spaces.  Look at
the output file with notepad for example.  Let me know if you still have a
problem.
