Error description
In Report Studio 8.4.1 GA, if a data item meets the following conditions...??1. Uses if-then-else or case-when?2. Uses a wildcard search type function (e.g. contains, position)?3. Outputs string literals of different character length??...then the output strings are padded with spaces to match the character length of the longest output string. This is reproducible with no Native SQL being generated. This is does not occur of the = operator is used to return the boolean for the condition, and does not seem to happen if metadata is requested.??Example data item expression:?if ('yes' contains 'no')?then ('abc')?else ('ab')??The example above will return 'ab ' instead of 'ab'.
