* (A) Posted by Ray to SPSSX-L list on 2002/08/30.
* For integers the N format can be used, but for numbers with decimals, strings must be used.

DATA LIST LIST /var1 int1.
BEGIN DATA
.45 	3
1.34 	10
END DATA.
LIST.

STRING var2(A4).
COMPUTE var2=LPAD(LTRIM(STRING(var1,F4.2)),4,"0").
FORMATS int1(N2).
LIST var2 int1.
