Thanks Mark. Gateway is the same ver as Oracle (19) per the manual
recommendation. Sql server is Std Edition 2019.
Left trim, right trim and trim functions are not helping in this case.
REPLACE, REGEXP_REPLACE also do not work.

What version of the Oracle Gateway is in use? Which driver?
What version is the target SQL Server?
You could as a workaround and if no one else provides a better solution
use an ltrim (or trim) function on the select.

*Subject:* Extra blank characters querying SQL server from Oracle
Hi,
We have configured Oracle Gateway to query SQL server from our Oracle 19
database. However the results add a blank character to every character
returned for columns in sql server that are defined as unicode columns, ie,
nvarchar columns.
Here is an example of a query result in SQL plus with the source table in
sql server:
emp_id emp_name city
---------- ------------------------- ----------
100 M u t h u New York
200 G a r y Seattle
201 D a v e Oak Brook
The table definition on the sql server side is:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[employee](
[emp_id] [smallint] NULL,
[emp_name] [*nvarchar*](50) NULL,
[city] [*char*](10) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Is there a way in Oracle to strip off the blanks automatically, in this
example for the emp_name column?
Thanks,
Ram
