Left padding integer with spaces

Left padding integer with spaces

Hi,

I have a table that contains integers. I need to left pad the integers with blanks and a length of 5 characters.

E.g. Table contains following integers (data type is integer).
CustKey (column)
1
2
3

In SQL, I used the LPAD function - LPAD(CustKey, 5, ' '). However, this does not add the spaces in front. It just returns the integers in the same way as the original table.

However, if I used LPAD(CustKey, 5, '0') then the query correctly returns:
00001
00002
00003

However, I want the spaces - not the 0s.

Do I need to convert CustKey to a string first? What function would you use for that?

Thanks
Sunil
