Description
The RPAD() function left-justifies a character string <expC1> and pads out the right of the string, to a total length of <expN> characters, with blank spaces. The optional <expC2> may be used to pad <expC1> with a character string instead of blank spaces. The RPAD() function is useful for creating fixed length character strings by padding them out with blanks. If the string being processed is longer than the specified total length, it is truncated. The RPAD() function is synonymous with the PADR() function.
Example
? rpad("abc",6,"d") abcddd
