.
The merge feature provides pad characters to fill unused
space in the field. You can use any character as the pad
character. When using a pad character, you can elect to pad
to the left or right of the overall data.
You also choose whether to merge the fields before formatting
or after formatting. For example, to merge the department and
price fields, merge them
before formatting (before the dollar
sign and decimal point are added to the price). After
formatting would include the monetary symbols in the merged
field.
