That's what I came to in another post - now this is analogous to trying to left-justify something with leading blanks - EVAL won't do that by itself, you have to %trim the value first
Maybe I just had %trimr in there as a given for fixed-length variables, don't know now!

Nothing wrong with EVALR that I can see - it's use, though - FOO is a
fixed-length variable, so all those trailing blanks are part of it -
you are trying to right-justify a 50-char value into a 50-char
variable - and that is what you get.
That was exactly my point in constructing the example: if you don't trim
off any trailing blanks, then EVALR is not going to quad it all the way
to the right.
