Yes, this does not remove leading zeros and the original problem is stated
as "numeric fields not zero suppressing". I read that to mean that zero
suppression was desired. Yeah, I know, "not" logic is hard to wrap ones head

multiple formatting issues occur...#'s representing some date fields, 
numeric fields not zero suppressing, columns showing as truncated although 
when you click on them the data is fine and other stuff of this ilk.
