fillCharacter
The fillCharacter property specifies a character to fill unused positions in a field. In addition, the property changes the effect of set field full, as described in "set."
The default values for this property depend on context, as follows:
- For numeric fields, the default is blank.
- For HEX fields (or character fields with the isHexDigit property set to YES, where appropriate) the default is 0.
- For all character fields, the default is null (an empty string).
