Bug or Not? Taking STRING of a string whilst making leading zeros

[StephenG1CMZ]

Thanks for those tips - I was assuming STRING was cleverly turning whatever into a string and could leave "9" unchanged.
So far I have this for producing leading zeros (based on the above but handling 0 zeros):

Code:



 EXPORT NZEROS(NZ)
 //ONLY WORKS FOR NZ<12
 BEGIN
  RETURN IFTE(NZ>0,MID(STRING(10^NZ),2),"");
 END;

It only works with less than 12 zeros...
I am surprised there is no built-in for this.
