Formatting a Number field(s)

[RJSHA1]

Hi there,
I have two variables COUNT and AMOUNT (I know original variable names), I want to format these two variables so that they have leading zeroes and I then want to add them to a file.
I cannot get the variables to have leading zeroes I'm using the following command what am I doing wrong

FRMAMOUNT=`printf "%+015" $AMOUNT`

$AMOUNT has a value of 163022578

#!/bin/ksh

typeset -Z15 AMOUNT=163022578
echo ${AMOUNT}

# 000000163022578

Thanks predamarcel,
I was missing the {}'s

not sure, I suppose you were missing `d' from `%015d'.
