You still haven't attached a file for us to see what you mean.  Your
messages are giving conflicting information.

How _exactly_ is the first field "wrong", and what _exactly_ do you mean
by "the rest of the fields are fine"?

Your original message said:

    instead of the first field retaining its defined 10 characters, the
    values are pushed to the left

But your previous message said:

    [moving from a .0 field] even though I am using a(10) or a(10,*) it
    still retains its right justification

Are things being "pushed to the left", or do they "retain their right
justification"?

Again, what _exactly_ is the problem, and can you show an actual file?
