Hello,
I need to create a 9-digit variable out of a variable that is currently
7 and 8 digits long by adding leading zeros to it. An example is provided
below.
existing required
1234567 001234567
56789012 056789012
Also, please note that in the actual dataset the exact no. of observations
with either 7 or 8 digits is not known.Any suggestions would be
appreciated.Thanks.
