# Verbatim

Normally all field values are automatically stripped of leading and trailing blanks (ASCII 32) before being loaded into the Qlik Sense database. Setting this variable to 1 suspends the stripping of blanks. Tab (ASCII 9) and hard space (ANSI 160) characters are never stripped.

Syntax:

Verbatim

Example:

`set Verbatim = 1;`
