add trailing zeros

Hi ,

I have to prepare a SAS dataset. I have a census tract field. The final field has to contain 11 digits and should be a character variable. At present, its a numeric variable of default length 8 and best12. format. Some of the numbers are 11 digits and some are 9 digits. Initially , the 11 digit numbers had a 2 digit decimal point (i.e. 123456756.76) . I took of the decimal points using compress function as per requirements of the program. Maybe I should not have done that initially. Now, I need to add 2 trailing zeros to only those values with 9 digits. Is there something I need to do about leading or trailing blanks too.Please advise.

Thanks.

e.g:

Initial file : numeric data , length 8 and best12. format.

478901347

167528936.67

567893456.78

786539269

I need:

47890134700

16752893667

56789345678

78653926900

duh clearly I was overthinking this and then just convert it to character . I took care of the character issue first and then was looking to add the zeroes.

Thanks very much.
