Allows to build a character expression from another one, adding N times, a specified character or blanks to its right side. Notice all trailing spaces from the original string will be removed before applying the function. The implementation of the function is similar to the following:
PadR(string text, int size, string fill)
return Left(RTrim(text) + Replicate(fill, size), size);
PadR(Str, Len [,FillChar])
Type returned
Character
Where:
Str
Is the character expression from which you want to add right blanks or the FillChar if indicated
Len

FillChar

Returns a character string, aligned to the right, which is the result of concat the specified ‘FillChar’ , ‘len’ times to the right side of the ‘Str’ specified to the function.
PadR(“My string”, 14) = “My string ”
PadR(“My string”, 14, ‘*’) = “My string*****”
