Is the result correct except for the leading zeros? You could loop 
through the result and replace the leading blanks with zeros. If you 
find a sign, you'd have to move it to the beginning of the string.

Something like this:

   for (i = 0; i < RcvLen; i++)
   {
      switch (szOutput[i])
      {
      case '-':
         szOutput[i] = '0';
         szOutput[0] = '-';
         return;
      case ' ':
         szOutput[i] = '0';
         break;
      default:
         return;
      }
   }
