If you need to pad a number with zeros do the following:
- Convert the number to a string padded with spaces by using the STR function.
- Replace the spaces with 0’s.
DECLARE @NumberToPad INT; SET @NumberToPad = 123 –The number to pad
DECLARE @PadLength INT; SET @PadLength = 10 –The length of the pad
–Pad the string
SELECT REPLACE(STR(@NumberToPad, @PadLength), ‘ ‘, ’0′)
