EXPAND()

Syntax:     EXPAND(<expC1>[,<expN>][,<expC2>)

Arguments:  <expC1> is the string to be processed.
            <expN> denotes the number of <expC2> characters to be
            inserted between each character in <expC1> (Default: 1).
            <expC2> contains the character to be inserted between each
            character in <expC1>.

Returns:    A character string.
            The processed <expC1> string.

Usage:      EXPAND() can, for example, be used to generate unreadable
            texts.  Although the texts will be stored normally, this will
            save storage capacity in the case of files or databases.

Notes:      Expansion will only take place if at least two characters are
            contained in <expC1>.  If <expC2> is not passed then a
            space is used.  (Use the functions PADRIGHT() and PADLEFT()
            to fill out a string at the ends.)

Library:    CT1.LIB
