Subject:      Justifying as FORMAT display?

Is it possible to left justify an as FORMAT display clause?
If so, what is the syntax?

The example I am thinking of is a zip+4,

DECLARE &ZIP as FORMAT'99999-9999';

I am thinking that entering a 5 digit code, would display just the
numerics. Whereas entering 123456789 would display '12345-6789'.

This example returns '00001-2345'  for 12345.
