You don't need to enter the length of a variable. You can find it with #. And you can typeset a variable so it is always at least 4 characters...spaces added as needed.

Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

typeset -R4 rbts
echo "Please enter MM#"
read mm
echo "Please enter BTS#"
read bts

echo bts is $bts which has ${#bts} digits
rbts=$bts
echo "$mm $rbts"
exit 0

tagpending

TAGPENDING(1)															     TAGPENDING(1)

NAME

       tagpending - tags bugs that are to be closed in the latest changelog as pending

SYNOPSIS

       tagpending [options]

DESCRIPTION

       tagpending parses debian/changelog to determine which bugs would be closed if the package were uploaded. Each bug is then marked as
       pending, using bts(1) if it is not already so.

OPTIONS

       -n, --noact
	   Check whether any bugs require tagging, but do not actually do so.

       -s, --silent
	   Do not output any messages.

       -v, --verbose
	   List each bug checked and tagged in turn.

       -f, --force
	   Do not query the BTS, but (re)tag all bugs closed in the changelog.

       --comments
	   Include the changelog header line and the entries relating to the tagged bugs as comments in the generated mail.  This is the default.

	   Note that when used in combination with --to, the header line output will always be that of the most recent version.

       --no-comments
	   Do not include changelog entries in the generated mail.

       -c, --confirm
	   Tag bugs as both confirmed and pending.

       -t, --to version
	   Parse changelogs for all versions strictly greater than version.

	   Equivalent to dpkg-parsechangelog's -v option.

       -i, --interactive
	   Display the message which would be sent to the BTS and, except when --noact was used, prompt for confirmation before sending it.

       -w, --wnpp
	   For each bug that does not appear to belong to the current package, check whether it is filed against wnpp. If so, tag it. This allows
	   e.g.  ITAs and ITPs closed in an upload to be tagged.
