@FORMAT

@FORMAT[[-][x][.y],string]:  Reformats a string, truncating it or padding 
it with spaces as necessary.  If you use the minus [-], the string is 
left-justified; otherwise, it is right-justified.  The x value is the 
minimum number of characters in the result.  The y value is the maximum 
number of characters in the result.  You can combine the options as 
necessary.  For example: 

        %@format[12,JPSoftware]         returns "  JPSoftware"
        %@format[.3,JPSoftware]         returns "JPS"
