Purpose

padChar [System.String] – A character string whose first character will be used to pad the string

Example
In this example, we are passing the required parameters to the function transformation object using a Variables object.
Where,
str = ABC
padChar = -
length = 10
Right-click on the function transformation object and select Preview Output. You can see that Astera Data Stack has returned the padded string of the specified length.
