I have a report i'm creating that displays columns that have decimal data that is not even in length.

For example

11.1111

2222.2222

3.3333

I want to know how I can have it display where it right justifies the data

    11.1111

2222.2222

     3.3333

I tried using formats which helped in some other scenarios but not this one.

I'm currently just doing a put @1 decData

I'm sending this to a text file using a filename statement.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jerry,

When I used it I ended up with a file that looked as follows:

    11.1111

  2222.2222

     3.3333

Art,


Thank you for your reply.

I tried using that format and it still doesn't line up. 

I looking at maybe using the z format and have it fill the difference with zeros.

He might be using a proportional font to view the ouput - this may cause the results to not line up visually.  See what happens when you use a fixed pitch font.

Art,

I tried it again and it did work like I need it too.

Thank you
