"typeset" is built into ksh and is documented on the ksh man page which you can display with "man ksh".

"man while" wouldn't display anything either but I hope you're not afraid to use "while" loops.

Doing this without "typeset" is a chore. You need to count the characters in the variable and prepend the appropriate number of zeros.

I can't really post any sample code since I can't be sure which subset of unix tools that you're willing to use.
