rjfill0

[Bruce Easton]

I see "RJFILL0" in our manual, Dennis, but I haven't seen it on any 
of our dev. systems nor in the wild.  I have seen several other 
versions of that type of edit on client systems, in fact - I came 
across another one just the other day having no different behavior 
than "rj0."  That doesn't surprise me - prior to 4.1, people had 
to write their own "rj0."

I just remembered there was a discussion about this here back on 
2/27/07.  Ken said:

The gray 4.1 filePro printed manual pages show "rj0" as the new 
supplied edit, but what's funny to me now is I'm noticing for the 
first time that we have here on several systems a "0rj" edit (in 
addition to the rj0 edit) . :):)

I do see that there is a difference when I test the "rj0" that we 
have:  [{ <0>!" "! }]  [{ # }]
and the 0rj that we have: \0\ {*}

In test mode inside define global edits, the 0rj edit applies the 
zeros and right justifies immediately, whereas the rj0 edit 
right justifies first and then requires an extra keystroke to 
fill the field with zeros.  (Although they seem to behave the 
same when fields with these edits are being posted to - see my 
last post back on 2/27/07 where I ran side-by-side posting tests.)

Anyway, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of these things.
