Filler Character in Format

ta5

Hello

Are the following to format strings the same?

1)
'<Year4><Month,2><Day,2><Hours24,2><Filler Character,0><Minutes,2><Seconds,2>:<Thousands,3><Filler Character,0>'

2)
'<Year4><Month,2><Day,2><Hours24,2><Filler Character,0><Minutes,2><Seconds,2>:<Thousands,3><Filler Character,0>'

Additional question: Although there is no filler character for <Day,2>, March evaluates to 03, not to 3. Maybe the filler character for <Hours24,2> is not really needed too?

Thanks in advance
Thomas

If the result is number, the filler character is 0 by default. If the result is text, the space is default filler. It means that you need filler characters just in special cases...

Thanks for explaining.
In this case, the online help of 4.02 uses the filler character altough it's not needed, isn't it :?
<Hours24,2><Filler Character,0><Minutes,2><Seconds,2> <Second dec.><Comma,.>T ==> 043555.553T
