Join in tmpa and trim

[Anonymous]

Hello
I have a tmap component to join a table (main) and an Excel file (lookup).
When I run my job I get the following error:
Warning: Object record is not associated with a drawing record - ignoring
The column in the table and in the excel file is a string of 15 characters
I thing the problem is due to spaces in the excel file.
Is it possible to add a StringHandling.TRIM function when you create the join between the main table and the excel file?
In other words, how to remove spaces in the column of excel file ?
Thanks for your help

Hello
Add a tJavaRow or another tMap to trim the space before join.
eg:
tMysqlInput-->tJavaRow(output_row.name=StringHandling.TRIM(input_row.name))-->tMap(do your join)
