FMT function only for server jobs?

We were trying to get some variable length values prefixed with zeros to get a fixed length. Came across this function FMT , is it only for a server job? Doesn't show as an available function in a parallel job.

How memory intensive is the XML output stage?

I have a job that becomes non-responsive after it gets to the XML Output stage. Is there a memory setting I can change to experiment with?

Is this even memory intensive?
