Please read Borland's newsgroup guidelines, via mFAQ IIRC.  When posting
to c.l.p.misc, you need to indicate dialect; cross-posting in c.l.p.* is
rarely needed.

I use in TP & BP & Delphi something like

   function CC(J : word) : string { CC:=00..99 } ; var St : string [2] ;
   begin Str(J:2, St) ; if St[1]=#32 then St[1] := '0' ; CC := St end ;

If there is any chance that J may be outside 0-99, use a longer string
and/or a signed parameter.
