The JUSTIFIED clause overrides standard positioning
rules for receiving items of category alphabetic, alphanumeric, DBCS, or national.

You can specify the JUSTIFIED clause only at the elementary level. JUST is an
abbreviation for JUSTIFIED, and has the same meaning.
You cannot specify the JUSTIFIED clause:
- For data items of category numeric, numeric-edited, alphanumeric-edited, or
national-edited
- For edited DBCS items
- For index data items
- For items described as USAGE FUNCTION-POINTER, USAGE POINTER, USAGE
PROCEDURE-POINTER, or USAGE OBJECT REFERENCE
- For external floating-point or internal floating-point items
- For date fields
- With level-66 (RENAMES) and level-88 (condition-name) entries
When the JUSTIFIED clause is specified for a
receiving item, the data is aligned at the rightmost character position in the receiving
item. Also:
- If the sending item is larger than the receiving item, the leftmost character
positions are truncated.
- If the sending item is smaller than the receiving item, the unused character
positions at the left are filled with spaces. For a DBCS item, each unused position
is filled with a DBCS space (X'4040');
for an item described with usage NATIONAL, each unused position is filled with
the default Unicode space (NX'0020'); otherwise, each unused position is filled
with an alphanumeric space.
If you omit the JUSTIFIED clause, the rules for
standard alignment are followed (see Alignment rules).
The JUSTIFIED clause does not affect initial settings
as determined by the VALUE clause.
