From what I've read it is used to pad a field with a leading character. I have a word, in a stream, that can be up to 8 characters long, however, if it isn't 8 characters, I'd like to append a dot/period to complete the 8 characters. I can use the PAD stage and in the grand scheme of things the time is insignificant. However, I was wondering if the PAD function in the SPEC stage can do such a thing. Thanks, Steve
