You can use formula for that. You have mentioned the first field's length to
be 22. check whether the formula below work outs for you.
NumberVar RequiredLength:= 22;
NumberVar CurrentLength:= Length (TOTEXT({yourfieldname}));
(IF RequiredLength < CurrentLength
THEN TOTEXT ({yourfieldname}) [1 TO RequiredLength]
ELSE ReplicateString (" ",RequiredLength - CurrentLength) + TOTEXT
({yourfieldname}))
