I have a programmer who wants to insert blanks from a PIC X host variable into a not null CHAR column
from a COBOL program. The generated code insists on converting his blanks to a null which is, of course, rejected since the column is defined as not null. Is there a way of forcing the blanks to go into the field?

Oracle version is 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3
Procobol 1.8.52.0.0

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
