Hi Rob,
Depending on how it will be used afterwards, I've found that just putting a
period as the last character does not pose a problem for whatever purpose it
is being used for.
If it is not the last field in your output line, then just insert the next
field at the end of this field and that should work.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Right Justified Padding
What is the correct method for creating a text variable with RJS padded
spaces??
The result should look like this (without the quotes):
"Some text goes here "
Sounds simple huh? -- I'm stumped!
I've tried:
RJS
SFIL
SRPL
SPUT
SMOVE
FORMAT
No matter what, the commands execute without error, but the result
ALWAYS truncates the trailing spaces.
Is this an issue with defining the var as text?
