How to add zeros at the start for a character field

Hi All,

I have a 10 character field whose valus is suppose 'A00987'.

How to add zeros at the starting of this field?

The output value for the above case should be 0000A00987.

I have tried using the FM 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'.

But it is returning the inputted value without appending zeros..

Any pointers would be of great help.

Thanks & Regards
