Ari asked:
 
1) Is there a good padding function already written?
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
Look here:
 
input ncode
1
15
387
end
tostring ncode , generate(scode) format(%03.0f)
list
     +---------------+
     | ncode   scode |
     |---------------|
  1. |     1     001 |
  2. |    15     015 |
  3. |   387     387 |
     +---------------+

 
Hope this helps
Svend
