So use the facilities in Text_IO!

Text_IO can output an integer in any width or base that you
like. If you want to convert leading blanks to zeroes, then
either

a) write a trivial routine to do this

b) use the features in the editing packages of annex G if
your compiler supports it (all versions of GNAT support
this annex).

Annex G allows full edited formatting. For example, you can
automatically format the integer 1234567 as

******$12,345.67

if that is what you want.

Your routines seem to be reinventing the wheel here :-)
