Eliminate space in csv file

Question

Hi
I have a script (see below) which runs and spools the information
select
STU_ID||','||CRSLIST||','||FIRST_NAME||','||SURNAME||','||MID_INITIAL||','||substr(rtrim(STU_ID),-1)||','||STUREF studata
from LOC_STUEMAIL
where STU_ACT = 'A'
order by STU_ID
I spool it to csv file. The STUREF is a number field.
The script does what it is suppose to do. The issue is there are lots of space in the spool file after STUREF field which I want to eliminate. I have tried RTRIM but it is not eliminating them.
Any help please

Hi HM
I tried trimspool, but it didnot help me.
@Ramesh: TRIM didnot help me either
This is the script
set linesize 192
column studata format A190
spool &OPPATH.ADD&RUN_NO..csv
select
'cn'||','||'Description'||','||'givenName'||','||'sn'||','||'initials'||','||'LastDigit'||','||'Stu_ID' studata
from dual
select
STU_ID||','||CRSLIST||','||FIRST_NAME||','||SURNAME||','||MID_INITIAL||','||substr(rtrim(STU_ID),-1)||','||STUREF studata
from LOC_STUEMAIL
where STU_ACT = 'A'
order by STU_ID
spool off
All the fields are fine except the last one.
