If you need leading zeroes to preserve the length of a number or for
pattern matching (usually happens for me when I add one to month and
need to compare something like 4/01/08 to 04/01/08) then I put the zero
back on with right.
Example
x=01234
y = x + 1
y = right('00000'y,5)
say y
Results in 01235

Greetings.
Is there anyway to perform an arithmetic operation (add/subtract) on a
string of numbers that has a leading '0' (zero) and perceive the leading
zero?
If I have the following:
X = 01234
and I add/subtract some number from the above the leading zero is
gone.
Thanks
