Number values of null vs 0

[stevepridemore]

@field(offset = 635, length = 5, align = Align.RIGHT, paddingChar = '0')
@FixedFormatDecimal(decimals = 2, decimalDelimiter = '.', useDecimalDelimiter = false)
@FixedFormatNumber(sign = Sign.NOSIGN)

The project I am currently working on has to be able to support numbers with either a null or zero value. For a null value the string for this field would be ' ' and the zero value would be '00000'. I am at a loss of how to do this using fixedformat4j. It would be great if it had a nullChar attribute as well.

@field(offset = 635, length = 5, align = Align.RIGHT, paddingChar = '0', nullChar=' ')
or
@FixedFormatNumber(sign = Sign.NOSIGN, nullChar=' ') if it was just for numbers

My suggestion is to create your own custom formatter for this field
