FillA ( chars, n )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
chars |
A string whose value will be repeated to fill the return string |
n |
A long whose value is the number of bytes in the string you want returned |
String. Returns a string n bytes long filled with repetitions of the characters in the argument chars. If the argument chars has more than n bytes, the first n bytes of chars are used to fill the return string. If the argument chars has fewer than n bytes, the characters in chars are repeated until the return string has n bytes.
FillA replaces the functionality that Fill had in DBCS environments in PowerBuilder 9. In SBCS environments, Fill and FillA return the same results.
