Here's my method!
repeat while the length of myVar < 14
put space before myVar (or after)
end repeat
There is a danger to this method:
repeat until the number of chars of tVar = 14
put space after tVar
end repeat
if tVar happens to be 15 or greater, it will repeat forever. Perhaps
use tVar >= 14 ?
Not that speed is an issue with this example, but with using method
it requires checking the number of characters in tVar for every pass.

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 :-)

I need to find out how to add spaces to a field length if the
number of characters are less than 14 to equal 14 charters.
I'm using this:
if the number of char of tVar < 14 then (I need to add spaces to
equal 14 char)
