Justification and Truncation

Within PROIV logic the following justification and truncation of data occurs:

Alphanumeric data is left justified. If the result field is shorter than the value to be placed in it, right truncation occurs.
Wide data is left justified. If the result field is shorter than the value to be placed in it, right truncation occurs.
Numeric data is truncated if the numeric value is assigned to a shorter numeric variable. In this case, the least significant digits are lost, but the exponent remains intact.
