You have a SPACE scalar function in SQL ... so just use embedded SQL and you
have the function.

Subject: Proposal for New RPG BIF
Team,
Honestly, I didn't want to go and look for the already posted proposals for
new TRs in RPG.
If this already exists and was rejected, just throw me a lot of rotten eggs
(LOL).
I am thinking of a new BIF: %SPACES(nSpaces)
This would help a lot to stuff in a string a number of spaces when
concatenating several pieces of other strings.
Example:
stmfString = var1 + %SPACES(50) + var2 + %SPACES(20);
The literal number of spaces can also be a variable containing a valid
positive value for the number of spaces to stuff in.
Opinions? (Or rotten eggs).
Thanks,
JS
