Re: left zero pad digit string

This named template seems to do what you want:

<xsl:template name="format-batchnum">
  <xsl:param name="batchnum"/>
  <xsl:param name="numbatchdigit" select="12"/>

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="string-length($batchnum)>=$numbatchdigit">
      <xsl:value-of select="$batchnum"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:text>0</xsl:text>
      <xsl:call-template name="format-batchnum">
        <xsl:with-param name="batchnum" select="$batchnum"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="numbatchdigit" select="$numbatchdigit -1"/>
      </xsl:call-template> 
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>


although format-number may be a better way to do it really.
