Hi, everybody
I use WF 7.7.01 and I try to generate a OLAP with data source MSAS.
but when i run the fex and the dropdown selection of HIERARCHY have no data.
and I use lenv function to view the source data ,I found the data has trailing blank.
so any body can get rid of the trailing blank in wf whole Environment?
thanks a lot

I am assuming this is related to varchar fields, it may not though.

Have you tried the SQL server adapter options ?

ENGINE SQLMSS SET VARCHAR OFF

Hi, waz
Thanks for your reply
I test your suggistion
and it does not work.

otherway ,my datasource is MSAS not SQLMSS
thank you very much.

Whats the Master file look like ?

Here is the some mas

when I read the dimension from the mas file
I get the length of each value +1
example:
I use the fex to read the Country_Region length of value

TABLE FILE ANALYSIS_SERVICES_TUTORIAL
PRINT Country_Region AND
COMPUTE NAME_LEN/I3 = ARGLEN(15, Country_Region, NAME_LEN);
HEADING
""
FOOTING
""
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END


I get

Country-Region NAME_LEN
Australia 10
Canada 7
France 7
Germany 8
United Kingdom 14
United States 14
Unknown 8



so it is not right

thank you

Interesting, can you try out the code below.

TABLE FILE ANALYSIS_SERVICES_TUTORIAL
PRINT Country_Region AND
COMPUTE NAME_LEN/I3 = ARGLEN(15, Country_Region, NAME_LEN);
COMPUTE NAME_HEX/A28 = UFMT(Country_Region, 14, NAME_HEX) ;
HEADING
""
FOOTING
""
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END

It will show the hex value of the field.

My guess is that the space is at the begining of the field. If not then it will show you the hex code of the "non printable" character.

Hi,Waz
I tried your code
the result is




Country-Region NAME_LEN NAME_HEX
Australia 10 4175737472616C69610020202020

Unknown 8 556E6B6E6F776E00202020202020


thanks

The extra character is not a space but a null character, Hex 00

and Waz
how can I get rid of the extra character in the whole wf environment?

thanks

hi，
dose anyone have ideas？

I suspect the extra space/null is caused by your COMPUTE. Column Country_Region is 14 long, not 15. Change your COMPUTE to this:

COMPUTE NAME_LEN/I3 = ARGLEN(14, Country_Region, NAME_LEN);

and see if the extra space/null is eliminated.

hi, Dan
I do not think so.
I try the fex
-* File 3.fex
TABLE FILE ANALYSIS_SERVICES_TUTORIAL
PRINT Country_Region AND
COMPUTE NAME_LEN/I3 = ARGLEN(14, Country_Region, NAME_LEN);
COMPUTE NAME_HEX/A28 = UFMT(Country_Region, 14, NAME_HEX) ;
HEADING
""
FOOTING
""
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END


and get the result


Country-Region NAME_LEN NAME_HEX
Australia 10 4175737472616C69610020202020
Canada 7 43616E6164610020202020202020

I would open a case with IBI Tech Support.

o, Dan
thank you very much
and I think some other information is very usefull.
WF version: 7.7.01
Datasource: microsoft sqlserver analysis service 2005 with sp3
OS: windows 2003 64 edition and window7 64 edition.
language:S-chinese
codepage:946

Just to be clear, I am suggesting that you open a case with IBI - not me.

OK thanks

does anybody have other suggistion?

If there are Hex 00 in your data, the question is, where did they come from.

What is the version of the SSAS ?

Are the Hex 00 part of the data ?

Is it being added after retrieval ?

As this is on WebFOCUS 7.7.0.1, I would also stongly suggest, as Dan does, to put in a case with IBI.
It may be a Bug.

My gut feeling is that it is in the data, perhaps from the original load, as a Hex 00 would normally be some sort of field terminator.

I would also look closely at the data, incoming and within MSAS.

The ARGLEN is working as expected, removing trailing blanks, but not removing the NULL, it is not designed to do that.

If the data is coming in to MSAS from SSIS, it is possible that the source has a NULL end and this is being taken through SSIS as part of the data. It is possible to remove this within SSIS with a regular expression "\x00"; though SSIS should clean NULLs out, it doesn't apparently. It would not be considered normal for data to have a NULL within a field in MSAS.
