I can't reproduce - are you sure you aren't storing the result in a numeric field?

I'm quite sure because rpad was working properly,
anyway i cannot reproduce anymore and closing,
if i'll understand what was happening i'll reopen a new one,
thanks.

Maybe I was actually using a numeric field,
that would explain why only rpad was working
(10, 20, 30 are indeed legit numbers), sorry for the mess.
