This is performed on an entire field as delimited by defined field characters. Field justification analyzes the entire field, strips trailing blanks, and pads and justifies the remaining data. The #FLD Statement operands controlling field-level justification are JUST and PAD.
The various ways data can be manipulated are best described by a series of examples. These examples show a mix of fields each defined with a different field character and each showing a different display format. Study the #FLD Statement statements and observe the results achieved.
#NOTE This sample panel definition gives examples of the #NOTE use of field level justification and padding. #FLD # #FLD $ JUST=RIGHT #FLD @ JUST=LEFT PAD=< #FLD ? JUST=RIGHT PAD=> #FLD / JUST=CENTER PAD=. #&VAR01 + @&VAR03 + ?&VAR04 + /&VAR05 +
Assume the following variable assignment statements are executed by the NCL procedure before displaying the sample panel:
&VAR01 = &STR Left justified null padding &VAR02 = &STR Right justified null padding &VAR03 = &STR Left justified with padding &VAR04 = &STR Right justified with padding &VAR05 = &STR Center justified with padding
The default values are JUST=LEFT and PAD=NULL, as shown by the first line in the example below, where field character # is used with no attributes other than the defaults. The sample panel is displayed as follows:
Left justified null padding Right justified null padding Left justified with padding<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Right justified with padding ..............Center justified with padding...............
