Part               Description

stringvar        Name of a String variable.

stringexpr      String expression1330R89 to be right aligned within stringvar.

If stringexpr is shorter than stringvar, RSet right aligns stringexpr within stringvar.  RSet replaces any leftover characters in stringvar with spaces, back to its beginning.

If stringexpr is longer than stringvar, RSet places only the leftmost characters, up to the length of stringvar, in stringvar.  Characters beyond the length of stringvar are truncated from the right.

You can't use RSet to assign variables of one user-defined type to those of another.
