[Robelle-l] Padding with spaces

Good afternoon!

I'm trying to create an fixed ascii file with some order information.  The 
last field in the record has a length of 50 (X50) within the self-defined 
file.  But when I do the output to the ascii file, the trailing spaces in 
that field appear to be excluded.  I'm saying that because the person I'm 
sending the file to says they are and because when I open the file in Qedit 
and move my cursor to the line, it jumps to the end of the actual filled 
bytes.  I've tried various things to try to force the spaces but nothing 
seems to work.

Is there a way to do this within Suprtool?
