+2The PadRight() method for strings only seems to work with hard coded numbers.
01 str1 as string value "hello".
01 str2 as string.
set str2 to str1::PadRight(10) *> this works fine
declare pad as string = 10
set str2 to str1::PadRight(pad) *> this doesn't work - no trailing spaces in returned string
Am I doing this wrong or is this a bug?

Edit: The line should read:
declare pad as binary-long = 10
which is what I have in my code. I just typed it wrong in my post.

Hi Randy, I tried compiling and running the following:
01 str1 string value "hello".
01 str2 string.
set str2 to str1::PadRight(10) *> this works fine
display str2
declare pad as binary-long = 10
set str2 to str1::PadRight(pad) *> this doesn't work - no trailing spaces in returned string
display str2
Both of the display statements showed "hello" followed by 5 spaces. I think this is correct behaviour as the PadRight adds spaces up to the total length specified by the parameter.
