The JUSTIFIED clause specifies non-standard positioning of data
within a screen item when data is either moved to it or entered into it.
General Format
Syntax Rules
JUST is an abbreviation for JUSTIFIED.
The JUSTIFIED clause is allowed only with input, output and
update fields.
General Rules
If the screen item is an output or update field, when data is
moved to it from the sending item, the JUSTIFIED clause is applied according to
the normal rules for MOVE.
If the screen item is an input or update field, when the
accepting of data into it has terminated, the JUSTIFIED clause causes the data
entered to be moved right by the number of character positions occupied by
prompt characters, and the left of the field to be padded with spaces. This is
done before the data is moved to the receiving item. This does not occur if
data is not entered.
If the screen item has a SECURE clause, the effect on the data is
the same as it would be without the SECURE clause, but this effect does not
appear on the screen.
