I am using DDE to write data to a EXCEL report template.  One of the columns is TEXT that is being used in  VLOOKUP formula in EXCEL.  When the column is written to EXCEL, there is a tailing space that is causing my data not to match.

For example, the value in my SAS data is "TEST123" but in EXCEL i see "TEST123 "

how to I tell SAS to remove that trailing SPACE.

Thanks,

If you mean add that to my SAS code, it already is.

Not sure, found something seems close to your problem, where Tom has suggested a solution. May be helpful.
