The same behaviour manifests when I use Java code to set the variable, so
it's not due to the shell. My previous attempts at using wrap manifested as
setting the value to:
:3:one
instead of:
one
The issue was that I was wrapping only the value and not name=value. Once I
did this things worked ou
Yes, you must "wrap" an option value that contains spaces (so that the
STAF command parser knows when an option value begins and ends) using
either double quotes, or the length delimited format that is of the form
:: for which STAF provides wrapData() APIs for
programming languages such as C++
My guess is that your command shell is parsing the command line and
compressing out the multiple spaces before the arguments even get in to
the STAF command. When you quote the argument, it tells the command shell
to leave the value (inside the quotes) along, thus STAF sees the value
having mul
