JRCsvExporter - remove empty spacer columns in CSV showing as additional commas

[contentengineer]

In iReport, when exporting as CSV file; empty spacer columns are not shown in the raw file output

If run in Java using JasperReports, additional commas appear presumably from the spacer columns 

In JRXlsAbstractExporter there is the capability to set IS_REMOVE_EMPTY_SPACE_BETWEEN_COLUMNS property

There does not appear the same in JRCsvExporter method

I have removed pagination prior to running fillManager, but additional spaces still appear.

Is there an undocumented property that can remove spaces in CSV?

Does iReport use the JRXls rather than JRCsv exporter?
