Reading numeric fields from XML files

[llandreth@xxxxxxxxx]

Sender: llandreth@xxxxxxxxx


We went live today, sending XML orders to our vendor for the first time!!
Next, we will receive the shipping information back in XML as well.

Question:  A numeric field, say, order number, is 10 long.  However, only
the significant digits are sent and received, so order number 0000055555 is
returned as 55555.  Is there an  "elegant" way to put 55555 into a numeric
variable?     I suppose the vendor can return all 10 digits.   And yes,
MOVE will work, if the field is zero-filled first.   (I even tried to fool
the system and use %DEC, to no avail.)

Many thanks,

L. Landreth
