Adjusting for Right Justified Fields within Web 2.0 Applications

 

Along with all the other new features that Web 2.0 applications offer, Web 2.0 applications also now control for right justified fields. In the past, if you had an 8 and 12 alpha field that we right justified, you would need to build logical fields over these fields so that they each were 8 positions to ensure the correct data was being compared. However now, Web 2.0 applications mean that you no longer need to create these transportation files to convert your data. Instead, all you will need to do is specify Right Justification on the field in question. To do this, click on the Preformat link within your application (You can also specify right justification from within the data dictionary level) and select the field in question:

 

Simply add “*RIGHTJUST” to the Field Description.

 

Note: At run time, the *RIGHTJUST will not be included within the skeleton of your HTML.
