If there's a question, a quick try is always the way I go - run the DIGITS function in a SELECT statement by itself in interactive SQL over a single-record table - sysibm/sysdummy1 is always on the system, a single variable-length 1-byte character field, value = 'Y' on one of our machines right now. Another one is QSYS2/QSQPTABL which has a single 4-byte integer field, value = 1
select digits(5) from sysibm/sysdummy1
results in this - the leading zeroes are there.
DIGITS ( 5 )
0000000005
If you want to see what it looks like for a 3-digit number, try
select digits(decimal(5,3,0)) from sysibm/sysdummy1
DIGITS
005
Interactive SQL - or the SQL part of Navigator, are my favorite test bed.

Du liebe est ist so toll als Du da bist!
I wasn't expecting '0' concat Digits(MyCol) to fill all the left zeros!
