Data format parameters used by the processing step. This definition overrides globally defined DataFormatParameters. Please refer to DataFormatParameters for more details.

Fill Char

String

No

Character that is used to fill remaining empty space in a field. These characters are trimmed from the field value (both start and end of the input string) and only the trimmed value is processed. Default: no trimming occurs and the whole input string is processed (without white-chars because whitespace characters are always trimmed for any field).
