Go to http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/sql_elements4a.htm#34563 and have a look at the format masks. You may be able to define this fixed format field directly with a mask.

(Update) Okay a single format mask won't do it.

Use four 4 byte number fields. Display them next to each other, make them fixed format, and make them 'auto skip'. On the last field, in the When-Validate-Item', populate your 19 character database field by concantenating the four number field with spaces to give you the format you need.
