Re: DBMS_CRYPTO undocumented PAD_ORCL

From the package header source:

SOURCE FOR PACKAGE - powner.DBMS_CRYPTO
LINE TEXT

• 55 -- Block Cipher Padding Modifiers 56 PAD_PKCS5 CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 4096; -- 0x1000 57 PAD_NONE CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 8192; -- 0x2000 58 PAD_ZERO CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 12288; -- 0x3000 59 PAD_ORCL CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 16384; -- 0x4000

It appears these are used in padded data to a particular length prior to encryption.
