Reformatting numeric value to zero-filled string

I need to take a numeric field that I need converted to a zero-filled text
value, for example:
123456 convert to 000123456
I've looked at the CONVERT and CASE and haven't come up with a combination
that will perform this function.
Thanks!
Dougtry this as an example:
SELECT ISNULL(RIGHT('000' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, '123456'), 10), '')

declare @.num int
set @.num = 123456
select right(replicate('0', 9) + ltrim(@.num), 9)

Thanks for all of the input...
Doug|||As a good practice, try the formatting in the client side.

Referencing sql in IF THEN ELSE Statement

The Background:

From page 1 a search is created and this value is converted to a querystring and given the name "id=" and passed to page 2. Page 2 then does a lookup in the sql 2000 db useing this querystring.

<

asp:SqlDataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ListingDBConnectionString %>"SelectCommand="SELECT [ID], [CompName], [Package] FROM [CDetails] WHERE ([ID] = @.ID)"><SelectParameters><asp:QueryStringParameterName="ID"QueryStringField="id"Type="Int32"/></SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>

The Problem:

What I then need to do is an IF THEN ELSE statement.

IF [Package in SQL1] = 4 Then

Package 4

IF [Package in SQL1] = 3 Then

Package 3

Only how do I reference the sql value in the if statement.

I have tried

<%IF Eval("Package") = 4 Then %> and with Bind - No good

Hi asiddle,

If you want to proceed IF then in SQL statement, I suggest you use CASE...WHEN...

You can first put the SelectCommand into a stored procedure, then use CASE...WHEN... to do the switch.

Hello Kevin,

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I cant make head nor tails of it. I followed your link to msdn but as usual all its actually done is confused the hell out of me. Is it possible you could drop an example?

Many thanks

Hi asiddle,

I suggest you put the CASE...WHEN into a stored procedure, and take @.ID as parameter.

For example:

SELECT [ID], [CompName], [Package] FROM [CDetails] WHERE [ID] =
CASE
WHEN @.ID>1 Then XXXX
WHEN XXXX Then XXXX

[Package] is an integer field ?

SELECT [ID], [CompName], 'Package ' + convert(varchar(10), [Package]) as [Package_Desc]

FROM [CDetails] WHERE ([ID] = @.ID
