Purpose
Function to pad out a string to a specified length
Syntax
PADL(<expC1>, <expN> [, <expC2>])
See Also
CENTER(), LPAD(), PADC(), PADR(), RPAD(), SET STRESCAPE, STR(), STREXTRACT(), STRTRAN(), STRZERO(), STUFF(), SUBSTR(),
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
Products
