PAD (L, R) functions

Does anyone knows what has happened to PAD, PADL, PADR functions? Were they removed from VB6? I'm trying to use them but VB6 doesn't seem to recognise any of them. I used them so many times in previous versions, no problems. I have my own function which does the same thing, but I'm just curious. Thanx

   Option Explicit
   Dim x As Integer
   Dim PadLength As Integer

 '=====================================================================
   'The following function will left pad a string with a specified
   'character. It accepts a base string which is to be left padded with
   'characters, a character to be used as the pad character, and a
   'length which specifies the total length of the padded result.
 '=====================================================================
   Function Lpad (MyValue$, MyPadCharacter$, MyPaddedLength%)

      Padlength = MyPaddedLength - Len(MyValue)
      Dim PadString As String
      For x = 1 To Padlength
         PadString = PadString & MyPadCharacter
      Next
      Lpad = PadString + MyValue

   End Function

 '=====================================================================
   'The following function will right pad a string with a specified
   'character. It accepts a base string which is to be right padded with
   'characters, a character to be used as the pad character, and a
   'length which specifies the total length of the padded result.
 '=====================================================================
   Function Rpad (MyValue$, MyPadCharacter$, MyPaddedLength%)

      Padlength = MyPaddedLength - Len(MyValue)
      Dim PadString As String
      For x = 1 To Padlength
         PadString = MyPadCharacter & PadString
      Next
      Rpad = MyValue + PadString

   End Function

Thanx for the reply, but I was just wondering what happened to the functions, I already got similiar function.
