Left-justify (was Re: Export fixed length)

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

  DDW? lol
  With lj edit added as you stated   lj   [{!" "!}] {*}

  If:
  Then: aa(17,lj)=2;ach(5)=aa     <-- where field 2 is where I want to apply
the edit


  This did not left justify the field
  As well, doing the 0rjdot edit didn't change the field to zero-filled
right justify amount

  If:
  Then: ab(10,0rjdot)=18;ach(6)=ab

 This is on SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 with filePro 5.6.07R4 FWIW......
