Output Conversion

For G-Format output conversion, the data-list item with the padding graphic is truncated or extended with the padding graphic to the specified field-width on the right before going into the data stream. Neither enclosing quotation marks nor the identifying suffix (G) are inserted. When A field-width value of zero places no graphics into the data stream. When the field-width value is omitted, the defaults is equal to the graphic-string length of the data-list item.
