@chrsitopher

This should be simple. First learn to create comma-separated values. Pinal has an article on that here: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/11/25/sql-server-comma-separated-values-csv-from-table-column/

Hi,
This is my query for the same.

use AdventureWorks
go
alter procedure MYProc @value1 bigint
as
begin
declare @String1 varchar(10)
Declare @length bigint
Declare @TotalLength bigint
set @TotalLength = 10

set @length = @TotalLength – LEN(@value1)
set @String1 = REPLICATE (0,@length) + CONVERT (nvarchar(10),@value1)
print @String1
end
go

Exec Myproc 555

Another method

declare @col varchar(100), @size int
set @col=363453344234
set @size=18
select replace(str(@col,@size),’ ‘,’0′)

When calling the function with less than the length: (123,7,0)

Solution 1 truncates the value.
Solution 2 and 3 return the value itself.

I am surprised noone used STUFF():
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.a
(
@Length TINYINT,
@Pad VARCHAR(1),
@Column_Value INT
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(255)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN STUFF
(
REPLICATE(@Pad, @Length),
@Length – LEN(@Column_Value),
LEN(@Column_Value),
@Column_Value
);
END
GO

select dbo.a(7, 0, 123);
drop function dbo.a
