# System Parameters

'+P' | Define DIM Padding Character

## Description

The value contained within the '+P' parameter is used to define the character to use in the DIM directive and function when they are passed a null string as the initialized value. This value is only used when the second parameter is present in the DIM statement for a string and only if that second parameter is a zero-length string.

(The '+P' system parameter was added in PxPlus v8.11.)

## Default

32, which represents Hex $20$ or the ASCII space character
