PADEDI environment variable [EDI 4.2]

PADEDI is a previously undocumented environment variable, which pads numeric fields with leading zeros or alphanumeric fields with trailing spaces at runtime to ensure that data meets minimal field length requirements.

ECRTP also includes a -pe switch, which pads EDI data to minimum length in compliance maps. This switch is an optional replacement for the PADEDI environment variable.
