Use of Greater-than Signs (>) to Represent a Right-justified, Fixed-length Variable Field Value

Some messages contain right-justified, fixed-length fields for resource names. If the name is not the right length, the name is right-justified. To handle right-justified fixed-length fields, use greater-than characters (>). Each greater-than sign represents one character. (You cannot use variables because variables do not provide padding.) For example, >>>>> represents a five-character field with right justification.
