The presentation is generally a function of a report writer, or if/when desirable the SQL itself. However when done in SQL, the type will change to character for presentation. The data is also converted to character for presentation in a report writer, but the underlying data/type would remain unchanged in the fetch buffer.
So if the fetch data must remain numeric, and the presentation should be prepended with zeros, look to the report writer being used, for what it provides to present /edited/ numeric values. STRQM which I think was based on QMF, supports an editing features J & I in FORM definition, of which both edit features will include leading zeros; the former omits any negative indicator, and the latter includes a minus symbol as left negative indicator.
