Not sure I understand what you're looking for, but that usually doesn't stop
me. . .

you could RPAD or LPAD the record with any character to a specific length

ex:  let $PaddedField = RPAD(&FIELD,30,'X')  where 30 is the finished length
of the field, and 'X' is the pad value.

If &Field = 'SMITH', After the RPAD, the value fo r$PaddedField would be
'SMITHXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'

                Is there a way to make the letter 'X' display in an alpha
edit mask?
