Lynette, here's a sample RPG/400 program.  Subroutine JUST right justifies data
that were left justified in 9 byte character field C9.  Most of the program is
written to test the subroutine.

      * NO BYTES                                    
     C                     MOVE *BLANKS   C9      9 
     C                     EXSR JUST                
      * ONE BYTE                                    
     C                     MOVE *BLANKS   C9        
     C                     MOVEL'N'       C9        
     C                     EXSR JUST                
      * FOUR BYTES                                  
     C                     MOVE *BLANKS   C9        
     C                     MOVEL'NAME'    C9        
     C                     EXSR JUST                
      * EIGHT BYTES                                 
     C                     MOVE *BLANKS   C9      9 
     C                     MOVEL'NAMENAME'C9        
     C                     EXSR JUST                
      * NINE BYTES                                  
     C                     MOVE *BLANKS   C9      9 
     C                     MOVEL'NAMENAME'C9        
     C                     MOVE 'N'       C9        
     C                     EXSR JUST                    
     C                     SETON                     LR 
      ************************************************* 
     C           JUST      BEGSR                        
      *************************************************

     C                     ENDIF                        
     C                     ENDSR
