Library /sys$common/syshlp/CDO$HELP.HLB  —  fld-properties  JUSTIFIED  Description
    The JUSTIFIED field property indicates how to fill the storage
    space allocated to a field element.

    o  JUSTIFIED CENTER centers a TEXT field.

    o  JUSTIFIED DECIMAL right-justifies the whole part of a
       number to the left of a decimal point and left-justifies the
       fractional part of the number to the right of a decimal point.
       DIGITAL DECforms provides interactive decimal justification
       that appears as a user types numeric data.

    o  JUSTIFIED LEFT truncates or fills a TEXT field against the
       left margin. This is the default value.

    o  JUSTIFIED RIGHT truncates or fills a TEXT field against the
       right margin.

    Only DIGITAL DECforms supports JUSTIFIED DECIMAL. All other
    products ignore it. JUSTIFIED DECIMAL requires a decimal string
    or floating-point data type.

    Only COBOL and DIGITAL DECforms support the JUSTIFIED RIGHT
    option. Other language processors ignore it. COBOL displays
    as much of the right portion of a JUSTIFIED RIGHT string as
    possible. If this adjustment leaves storage space to the left
    of the string, COBOL fills this space with blanks.

    Use the JUSTIFIED field property only with fields that have the
    following data types:

    o  TEXT

    o  UNSPECIFIED

    o  Decimal string

    o  Fixed-point

    o  Floating-point
