RSet has meaning only when dealing within fixed-length strings.
If the length of string is less than that of stringvar, the extra characters within stringvar are padded with spaces.
If the length of string is greater than that of stringvar, string is truncated to the length of stringvar.
Programming Tips and Gotchas
RSet can't be used with user-defined types.
RSet overwrites the entire contents of stringvar. The last len(string) characters are overwritten by the value of string, while the remaining characters are replaced with spaces.
