Repeat A String In A Textbox

[PC Datasheet]

I need a textbox to be set to a string of 15 Xs. Is there some expression
that does something like the following pseudocode:
MyTextbox = "X"(15)

If there is, can it be done with a multiple character string; ie, set the
textbox to a string of XYZ repeated 15 times? Something like:
MyTextbox = "XYZ"(15)

In 1, MyTextbox would contain "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
In 2, My Textbox would contain "XYZXYZXYZXYZXYZ..... out 15 times.

I know it can be done easily in a loop.

The String function will give you the 15 "X"s, but it only works with a
single character. (At least in A2K) I think you'll need to use a loop if
you need multiple characters repeated.

Thank you for the quick responses!

James, the function is actually:
String(15, "X")
