Newbie…Could someone show me how in tcl code to make the SSN RJZF(right justified zero filled)? We have a few SSN that are coming over in HL7 PID segment as eight digits but I need to send it as a nine digit with a leading zero. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Deborah

  Unless you have personally created the number, I would recommend strongly against using “d” in the format statement. If the field is empty or has a non-number it will cause a Tcl error. Use “s” instead.
  
  Example:
  
  set i “”
  
  format “%09d” $i
  
  Error: expected integer but got “”
  
  format “%09s” $i
