I have a string of digits that looks like something like these: 0025,
1234, 0001, 1003, and so on. They are all 4 digits in length. Then
when I increment one of them by 1, I want to still have 4 digits for the
value (it should insert the leading zeros if needed). Is there any type
of function that will force the incremented value to be exactly 4 digits
no matter what number it increments? Please let me know if there is a
function that will insert these leading zeros or truncate it to 4 digits
if necessary. Thanks.
Matt
