conversion of data

Using Ken's suggestion of repeat()
 
Since you haven't said how many characters your number is:
 
      if:
    Then: n=xx{""	xx=field # of value
      if:
    Then: nl=dlen(n)  'give you the display length
      if: 'do lookup using what ever parameters you use
    then: lookup controlfile .......
      If:
    Then:ct=lookup(ff)-nl;
      if: 
    Then: n=repeat("0",ct){xx  
      if:
    then: xx=n;write;END
