PAD

 The PAD  function  returns  a  character-string  value,  of  the
 specified  size,  that  contains  padded  fill  characters.  The
 return value is compatible with all other string types.


 Syntax:

    PAD( str,fill,size )


 The parameter 'str' is a character-string value  to  be  padded;
 the  parameter  fill  is  a value of type CHAR to be used as the
 fill character; and, the parameter 'size' is  an  integer  value
 indicating the size of the final string.

 This string is composed of the original string followed  by  the
 fill  character, which is repeated as many times as is necessary
 to extend the string to its specified size.  The final size must
 be  greater  than  or  equal  to  the length of the string to be
 padded.
