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 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. See “Padding EDI data to minimum length [EDI 4.2]” for more information.
