You can also combine the two syntaxes
local foo2 : display %06.2f foo

Yes, you can use Stata's expression evaluator inline. For example:
scalar foo = 12
sc y x, note("The value of foo is: `=foo'")
The other alternative, as Oliver noted, is to place the value into a
macro instead. One advantage of this approach is that you can apply a
display format to the value, if desired. For example:
. local foo: display %06.2f 12
. di "`foo'"
012.00
