How can I get format to return a 4 digit number without a space for a

In the example below, xtrans is a 5 char text value, I only want 4
char or it won't fit in the position I need it to go into.
set var xtrans = (format(.Numtrans,'0000'))
R>show var xtrans
2314
R>set var ln = ' '

2314 actually is in positions 2 thru 5
