The mysterious tab appearing in the last column when we export data using outbound IO

When exporting data using outbound IO into a text file, a mysterious tab space is observed in the last column, specifically for the Date field, but only when the value is null. It's important to note that this issue does not affect other types of fields, such as Text, Number, or List.

 

Here are the steps to replicate the issue:

1) Create a TRIRIGA Query for any object where the last field should be of Date type.

2) Generate 2-3 records for the same object, ensuring that one of the records has a null date (i.e., the date field is not selected).

3) Set up an Outbound IO with the Tab-delimited option and use the TRIRIGA Query within the IO.

4) Execute the IO, and upon checking the exported file, you will notice an extra tab space in the null date record's last column.

    Hi Toshiyuki, Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Does the tab you describe cause a problem, and if so what is it impacting? Could you also provide a copy of the exported file? Thank you again for your feedback.
