RPAD(x,a,y,n)

RPAD(x,a,y,n) is a string function that inserts the character string y (string literal) at the end of the character string x (string specification) as often as specified by the expression a. Only expressions that produce an alphanumeric value are permitted as string specifications. The result of the expression a must be a positive integer.

Leading and subsequent blanks in the character string x are truncated.

The optional parameter n (unsigned integer) defines the maximal total length of the character string created. n must be greater than or equal to the total LENGTH(x)+a*LENGTH(y) .
