len of field

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Paul,

repeat until the number of chars of tVar = 14
   put space after tVar
end repeat

or by building a function you can use elsewhere with any number of  
chars:

put Extent(tVar,14) into fld "MyField"

function Extent pString,pNumOfChars
   repeat until the number of chars of pString = pNumOfChars
     put space after pString
   end repeat
   return pString
end Extent

The last method is better: always think you want be able to reuse the  
code you write :-)
