Why have space in my text in my sas ods pdf

I want to make a pdf report in formula 1 GP, I have macro variables like the name of the GP, the year,… But in my pdf I have some space before or after my macro. I try to make some modification on my macro but without success. I put the result and a part of my code.

proc sql noprint;
  select trim(name) 
  into :gp_name
  from F1.race_data;
quit;

proc sql noprint;
  select trim(put(year , best.))
  into :gp_year
  from F1.race_data;
quit;

proc sql noprint;
  select trim(put(round , best.))
  into :gp_round
  from F1.race_data;
quit;

To make my pdf I have this

ODS PDF FILE= '/home/u59673531/SASII/Rapport_F1.pdf' style=rapport
    TITLE= 'Rapport GP F1'
    AUTHOR='ABC';
OPTIONS NODATE NONUMBER;
ODS ESCAPECHAR='^';
ODS PDF STARTPAGE=NEVER;

TITLE2 justify=LEFT  "Résumé du &gp_name";

ODS PDF TEXT="^{newline 1}";
ods text = "Voici le résumé du &gp_name sur le &gp_namegp pour le &gp_round e grand prix de la saison &gp_year se déroulant à &gp_local";

PROC PRINT DATA=F1.TABLE_GP NOOBS;
RUN;

And in my pdf I have this

How I can resolve the problem with the space in my text ?

>Solution :

Use the TRIMMED option.

TRIMMED
trims the leading and trailing blanks from values that are stored in a single macro variable.

proc sql noprint;
  select trim(name) 
  into :gp_name TRIMMED
  from F1.race_data;
quit;
