Hi, im new to this, havent had much experience and have come across a slight problem. im writing a program where i need to pad certain fields with trailing zeros, as the field will have values of varying length, but i have no idea how to do this, so any help would be great!

Thanks all.

(edit:Problem all sorted now, thanx for the help)

Maybe you should use function PAD[R]?
For example
MyVar := PADR( MyVar, TARGET_LENGTH ) // #DEFINE TARGET_LENGTH
