In this particular case it's a bit funny. I recalled I asked a question here (from another forum) and got an answer by SB about RTRIM (no, I didn't recall all the details, as I recalled them now). I then confused PADR & RTRIM and hurried to post a solution <g> That only proves the expression used by my former match teacher: "You should hurry only when catching fleas" <g>
