I need to append a variable number of zeros to the left of a string.  

I acheived this by using case logic and concatenating onto the string.  However, I was wonder if there is some sort of RBasic append command.  In this case, I have to have a total of eight digits.

I substract the hard data(wt of a package) from the eight and obtain the number of zeros needed to be added onto the string.  Appreciate

your help, Jim.

<QUOTE>Jim,

Have you tried FMT? For example,



val=1

xx =FMT(val,"R(0)#8) ;* this will give you 8 digits. If val is not 8 digits, then it will zero fill to the left. 



xx will display 00000001.



Very useful. Try it.
