Given the following code fragment:

D ImgCnt S 3 0

D ImgCntc S 3a

C Do 999

C Eval ImgCnt = ImgCnt + 1

C Eval ImgCntc = %Char(ImgCnt)

C Enddo

If I displayed both of these variables on a screen they would look like
this:

IMGCNT = __1

IMGCNTC = 1__

What is the easiest way to pad IMGCNTC with leading zeros?

IMGCNTC = 001

IMGCNTC = 002

.

IMGCNTC = 085

IMGCNTC = 099

.

IMGCNTC = 134

Etc.

Thanks!
