NB. I generate a list of integers:

a=.000 012 034 678 020

a

0 12 34 678 20 NB. Of course, J removes leading zeros.


5 1$ a NB. I invert to a column of integers

0

12

34

678

20


NB. Now I want to fill the leading zeros back in in the column display, so
I try the fill (fit) conjunction:

5 1$!.0 a

0

12

34

678

20

NB. Didn't work. What do I have to do to get a verb f, that leading zero
fills in the columnar display:

NB. Like this:

f a

000

012

034

678

030


I need a general verb that can take any list of integers, and turn them
into a column of leading-0-filled integers. Does the result of the verb f
have to be a literal?
