Description
The PADL() function right justifies a character string <expC1> and pads out the left of the string, to a total length of <expN> characters. PADL() returns the new string. If <expC2> is not specified, <expC1> will be padded with blanks, otherwise the string will be padded with the character specified by <expC2>. If the string being processed is longer than the specified total length, it is truncated.
The PADL() function is synonymous with the LPAD() function.
Example
? padl("abc",6,"X") XXXabc
