You can add characters to one side of a field to "pad" the field.
Padding allows you to fill in the remaining spaces when the
entered data does not fill an entire field.
If a variable length field is not completely filled with batch data,
this option fills the remaining positions in the field with the
character designated by Option 30.
To pad data in an RFID Data Field, see "Applying Options to the
RFID Data Field" in Chapter 3 for more information.
