I think Chuck is wrong about the varying in that I'm fairly certain
that it actually places blanks in the back end of the field even
though (because of the length) it doesn't need to.
While I used net-speak [i.e. IME] instead of actually writing "In My
Experience", the effect I described was based on actual experience, not
any inference or supposition. If a varying target is set to a shorter
value, what is in the storage beyond the shorter value in the target
[now with a shorter varying length] is not necessarily set to blanks;
i.e. no blank pad.
I did however incorrectly recall the effect using the :C formatting
option for EVAL in debug. The effect of :C was more like the effect of
:X formatting option than having specified no formatting option, but the
result is IMO somewhat bizarre in comparison of all three.
