Oh, I guess I missed that thread.  However, I don't
see how you can get a fixed length export with this
approach.  I just ran a quick test of export ascii
with the -a flag and no -X flag and the trailing
blanks were stripped.

BTW if you want to remove the leading blanks when you
do your assignment try the following:

rc(10)=""{1

Good Luck
