Justification Check
A justification check ensures a value that occupies less characters than the field size allows is shifted to the appropriate side and either blank or zero filled.
The valid justification types are described in Justification Types.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| LB | Left justified with blanks |
| RB | Right justified with blanks |
| R0 | Right justified with zeros |
If the justification check is blank and a justification error code has been set, the evaluation will proceed with the following defaults based on the value type.
The default justification types are described in Justification Types.
| Default Type | Value Types |
|---|---|
| LB | A, S, AN, ANS, NB, NB_187, NS |
| RB | B, NBSM, NBSM_187, NBSMOS |
| R0 | N |
| none | BIN |
The justification check can be configured to be conditional. If the contents of another field is equal to some value, then and only then is the justification check performed. For more information, see the "If FIELD" form in Conditionals.
