Purpose |
Right justify a
|
|
Syntax |
RSET [ABS] result_var = string_expression [USING ustring_expression] |
|
Remarks |
RSET right-aligns a string within the space of another string, or within a variable of a User-Defined Type (UDT). |
|
ABS |
If ABS is specified, or ustring_expression is null (empty), RSET leaves the padding positions unchanged from their original content, rather than replacing them with spaces. |
|
USING |
If string_expression is shorter then result_var, RSET right-justifies string_expression within result_var, and pads remaining character positions on the left side using the first character in ustring_expression or spaces if not specified or is null (empty). If string_expression is longer than result_var, RSET truncates string_expression from the right until it fits in result_var. RSET can be used to assign the content of a User-Defined Type to a User-Defined Type variable of a different class, or assign a dynamic string to a User-Defined Type. For example: RSET MyUDT = STRING$(LEN(MyUDT), 0) RSET MyUDT = b$ LSET works in a similar manner, but left-aligns string_expression; CSET performs center-justification. |
