Raoul,
depending on what you would like to achieve, you can either follow
Rosy's suggestion which will change a 12 into a 120,or, if your
question aims at adding leading zeros and if your variable is a
numerical one, you could use a leading zero display format. The latter
will not change the values of your variable but has an effect whenever
you display values of the variable . The command could look like this:
format %03.0f your_variable

Hi,
I have a variable which has 2-digit values and 3-values. I would like
to change all 2-digit values into 3 digits by adding a zero. How can
I do this? Thanks.
Raoul
see example below
the list of values looks like this:
12
148
456
21
364
390
and I would like to add a zero to the third and fourth values.
