You can add characters to one side of a field to “pad” the field. Padding
allows you to fill in the remaining spaces when the entered data does not fill
an entire field. If a variable length field is not completely filled with batch
data, this option fills the remaining positions in the field with the character
designated by Option 30.

If you have a variable length bar code that you want to occupy a fixed
amount of space on the supply, use pad characters. If the maximum number
of characters in the bar code is 15, but the batch record only has 10
characters, the padding option fills the remainder of the field with pad
characters.
