This is to let you all know that I discovered a really nice, undocumented feature of PADL(). It is present in at least vfp7 and higher.
The 3rd parameter can be used to define the Pad Character, says the doc. However, this parameter can be of varying length! An example:
? "Result: " + padl( 123, 10, "#000000000" )
Result: #000000123
