Calling Sequence:
padzero(z, p);
Parameters:
z - a numeric
p - an integer
Description:
padzero adds trailing zeros to a float or integer.
The first argument z is the object to be padded.
The second argument p is the fractional length of the resulting float.
If z is of type fraction , then z will be returned unchanged.
If the fractional length of z is equal or greater than p, then z will be returned unchanged.
