Controls |
Result |
Alphanumeric variable. |
Right-justified character string. The result field is cleared before the function is run. |
|
String |
Alphanumeric variable or constant. |
Character string which is to be right-justified. |
Mandatory parameter. |
Note:
Blank characters located on the right of the string are ignored.
If the result field is shorter than the string to be right-justified, the result is truncated on the left.
When this function is used in a simple assignment, the words are right-justified in relation to the result variable. When this function is used in a concatenation expression, the right justification is performed in relation to an internal variable that is the same size as the function's String parameter.
Example
NAME = 'JOHN SMITH '
NEW_NAME = &RIGHT_ADJUST(NAME)
* NEW_NAME (20-char. long) is equal to: °°°°°°°°°°JOHN°SMITH
*
NAME_8 = &RIGHT_ADJUST(NAME)
* NAME_8 (8-char. long) is equal to: HN°SMITH
