I can think of a few places where I would like to output some nice white space to the end user, cushioning their existence from the vagaries of life... But Ax 2009 isn't letting me:
- In table fields. I can confirm that trailing spaces are removed, which is a shame when you want to store pre generated rows of data that are to be exported to plain text files, in a host system that will then parse fixed length fields, padded with either zeros or white space.
- In the label text. Try as I might, that important white space from the right is cruelly taken away from me. My formatting and design of Ax forms is taken to new heights of frustration and anger. Well, perhaps I exaggerate a little after all we should be changing the margin fields and not manually adding spaces to the labels after the full colon.
- Directly in the editor, the white space is removed from the end of the lines. It doesn't interfere normally, but when using the @ operator for strings it can upset your precious formatting.

Use the \n in strings to create a new line... And use labels. |
I've discovered this aversion to trailing white space from Microsoft years ago ever since my Hotmail account's password used to have a trailing white space in it... And now it doesn't any more. Same password but minus the w/s. Is white space actually
dangerous?
