Dick: This should work for you.
set var VTEXT = (LJS((FORMAT(321,'000000')),6)) Including the LJS function ensures that you get a left justified string that's 6 characters long. Hope that helps.

I need to fill a string with leading zeros to always acheive a 6 character field. so 321 would become 000321 etc. Thanks, Dick Fey Confidentiality Notice This message is intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
