awk question.
Hi Experts,
I have the following awk program which works fine except that the total amt field is not a 10 digit field after the additions and deletions.

for example, if :
parta=00000100
partb=00000100
totalamount=0000000900

After the awk program is run.
total amount=700

Is there a way in awk that the field can be converted to a 10 digit field so that total amount =0000000700



Code:
{
out_filel="shtemp/MAMMR"

parta=substr($0,263,8)
partb=substr($0,271,8)
totalamt=substr($0,299,10)
firstsection=substr($0,1,298)
lastsection=substr($0,310,176)
totalamt=(totalamt-(parta+partb))

##print firstsection""%10itotalamt""lastsection > out_filel
print firstsection""totalamt""lastsection > out_filel
}

I had tried that with the command below but is not working for some reason

Code:
print firstsection""%10itotalamt""lastsection > out_filel

Any help will be appreciated!

amt

amt(1)								   User Commands							    amt(1)

NAME

       amt - run abstract machine test

SYNOPSIS

       amt [-s]

DESCRIPTION

       The  amt command is for use in a Common Criteria security certified system. The command is used to verify that the low level functions nec-
       essary to enforce the object reuse requirements of the Controlled Access Protection Profile are working correctly. /usr/bin/amt is a  shell
       script  that  executes  tests specific to your system. For a 32-bit system, the tests run as a 32-bit application. For a 64-bit system, the
       tests run twice; once as a 32-bit application and once as a 64-bit application.

       amt lists test results with a pass or fail for each test it performs, unless output is suppressed with the -s option.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -s    Suppresses output.

EXIT STATUS

       The following error values are returned:

       0     All tests passed.

       >0    Count of the number of tests that failed.

       <0    Incorrect command line argument.
