Use the PADL function, as in:
[tt]padl(ltrim(str(27)), 10, '0')[/tt]
will pad the number 27 with 8 leading zeros (10 characters overall). Robert Bradley
[tt]padl(ltrim(str(27)), 10, '0')[/tt]
will pad the number 27 with 8 leading zeros (10 characters overall). Robert Bradley

If you are using this approach, don't forget to use the decimals parameter with STR if your numbers will be fractional, i.e.:
[tt]padl(ltrim(str(27.16, 10, 2)), 10, '0')[/tt] Robert Bradley
[tt]padl(ltrim(str(27.16, 10, 2)), 10, '0')[/tt] Robert Bradley
