conversion of data

[Rod Caddy]

I am not sure that I really know how to ask this question.  I need to be 
able to look at the value of the data in a field and pad another field 
with the number of zeros that the data tells me.

Example:

In a control file a 1 digit field is set to only allow the numbers 1-8.  
Whatever the number is I will take and pad another field with that number 
of zeros minus the number of characters that my starting number takes up.

Control file has 6 in it.
My starting number is 10.
My math would be 6-2=4.
My ending number would be 000010.

I can test for this and have a long drawn out process but I was trying to 
shorten this.  Any Ideas would be appreciated.
