Justification of any kind is irrelevant to numeric types like integer or floating point. Justification is a text concept.

In any case, why should you want data stored in a justified way? It's only a matter of interest when the data is displayed to the user. Surely it doesn't matter for storage.

Hello thank you for your fast answer.

This Data is shwon for the User in a Searchhelp (WebDynpro Application), so it would be nice to show all numers on the right...(justified).

kind regards

You have to convert it to string/character format then.

You display the number formatted, but handle it as a number in the backend. I really don't see the problem, I'm afraid.
