Stating what database and shell you are using would help, but since that info is not here...

Here's a couple of ways. First, try putting put a TRIM( ) function call (or your system's equivalent) around
Code:
stp_ctr_fetch_module_tbl_id('ATTRIB', 'GET')

Or in the script try one of these:

Code:
$ cat x
a="  1234"
print "Before: [$a]"
typeset -i a   # make it an integer.
print "After: [$a]"

b="  1234"
print "Before: [$b]"
b=$(print $b)
print "After: [$b]"


$ ./x
Before: [  1234]
After: [1234]
Before: [  1234]
After: [1234]
$

rpmspec

RPMSPEC(8)                                                    System Manager's Manual                                                   RPMSPEC(8)

NAME

       rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool

SYNOPSIS

   QUERYING SPEC FILES:
       rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ...

   select-options
        [--rpms]
        [--srpms]

   query-options
        [--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT]
        [--target TARGET_PLATFORM]

   QUERY OPTIONS
       The general form of an rpm spec query command is

       rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]

       You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the

        --qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT

       option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string.  See rpm(8) for details.

   SELECT OPTIONS
        --rpms Operate on the binary package header(s).
        --srpm Operate on the source package header(s).

SEE ALSO

       popt(3),
       rpm(8),
       rpmdb(8),
       rpmkeys(8),
       rpmsign(8),
       rpm2cpio(8),
       rpmbuild(8),

       rpmspec  --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual
       matches what's available.
