you can do this by defining another varible with JUSTIFIED
RIGHT clause. then move the value from data-name-1 to that
varible. You have to define the picture clause of that
varible with proper length : below code will exactly do
that:
01 data-name-1 pic x(220) " English is a language".
01 CHR6 PIC X(217) JUSTIFIED RIGHT.
now do a move from data-name-1 to CHR6 and then disolay
the content of CHR6
