A character, numeric, or date value to pad with a fill character.
nLength
Type: Long
The length of the string to return.
cFillChar
Type: String
The character with which to pad uValue.
The default is a space character.

Return Value

Type: String
A string containing uValue and padded with cFillChar to a total length of nLength.
If the length of uValue exceeds nLength, Pad() truncates cPaddedString to nLength.
Remarks
PadL is the same as Pad() except that PadL() adds fill characters on the left.
For more information, see Pad(). PadL() is the inverse of LTrim(), which trims leading space from strings.
