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 multiple spaces, stores it that way, and gives it back to you that
way.

[staf-users] Set Variable Multiple Space(s)
When I set a variable with multiple sequential spaces in the value
then pull back the variable later the extra spaces are collapsed. For
example:
---------------------------------------------------------
$ STAF local var set system var multi-space=one two three
$ STAF local var list system |grep multi-space
multi-space : one two three
---------------------------------------------------------
I found however that if I wrap the value in quotes:
---------------------------------------------------------
$ STAF local var set system var multi-space="one two three"
$ STAF local var list system |grep multi-space
multi-space : one two three
---------------------------------------------------------
I get the right answer. Is this the expected behaviour?
---------------------------------------------------------
version=3.3.4
platform=linux
architecture=32-bit
installer=STAFInst
file=STAF334-linux.tar
osname=Linux
osversion=*
osarch=x86
