Fill a camp

[deleted_user]

How can I fill a field with characters '0' by the left?

If my field contains the string "123" and its length is 5, I want it to contain the string "00123"....I can´t use the instruction LPAD in SQL...

It's call the "Zw.d" format.

You can get to the SAS documentation for SAS 8, 9.1.x and 9.2 off the web. within the documentation, look for BaseSAS, Language Dictionary, Formats.
