Justification in Excel is not done with padding, it's a display attribute.
So there is nothing different about the actual data in a left-justified
cell vs. a right-justified cell.
It used to be that you could use apostrophe for left, quotation for right,
and carat for center. Excel 2000, at least does not honor this, in my brief
exploration. And such a character would end up in the data, as well -
probably not what you want.
I think you'd need to pad with spaces. Trouble is, you don't know, in Excel
by itself, how long a "field" is - no such concept in Excel, AFAIK. When
importing data, I think leading blanks are trimmed - not sure - but they
seem to remain if you enter them yourself. And probably if done
programatically with a VBA module.
Maybe best, do the right justify with SQL or RPG on the 400.
