Hello,
 
   I am using dBASE III+. I would like to know how I can pad a
memory variable with 0s.
 
For example:
I would like to store the reccount() into a field in the database.
 
I would start as :
mcount=reccount()
REPLACE field1 WITH mcount  
 
I would like for it to show up as :
00003 instead of 3 in the character field field1.

My opinion does not reflect that of Temple U. This is because it is made 
up of a non-reflective material.
