RIGHT(<string>,<length>,[<padchar>])
      returns a string

The result is a string of <length> characters made up the rightmost
characters in <string>. If <length> is greater than the length of
<string>, then the result is filled out on the left with <padchar> -- a
quick way to right-justify a string.

The default pad character is a blank.

   Example:
         say right('never to stop saying',11);      >>> stop saying
         say '$'right(4.50, 6)                      >>> $  4.50
         say '$'right(123.99, 6)                    >>> $123.99
         say right('Whoa', 6, 'W')                  >>> WWWhoa
