if data is coming 5 digit , remaining preceeding zero's should come, if 2 digit data is coming 8 digit zero's should come.

please help me to know the resolution.

Use a len(Str,"0" with column)

Try with below derivation.

Right('0000000000':Inputcol,10)

This is the best option :

Str("0",8-len(Column):Column

FMT(Column,'8"0"L')

Actually, Ravi's example using Right() is more efficient in this case as you're not having to call the Len() and Str() functions each time. The end result is the same.

If you must do zero-padding several times in a transformer and process millions of rows, you can see a distinct performance difference between the two methods.
