Tried that before and it still sorted left (on UniData). That's why I asked.

Suppose I wanted to list the customers with the longest names, I would use: LIST CUSTOMER NAME BY.DSND EVAL "LEN(NAME)" FMT "2R" Since the default is left justification, if I omitted the 'FMT "2R"', all the customers with 9-character names would be sorted before those with 10+ character names! The FMT clause causes it to sort as one would expect. Hope this helps.
