robin says
"Interface to PL/I and you can use standard I/O:
put edit (n) (P'-99999999');
and you don't have to worry about whether the number is
negative either. The nines in the picture format
force leading zeros to print.
And if you want, you can insert commas in the output
to make it more readable. The picture specification becomes:
P'-999,999,999'"
I guess robin knows PL/1 and does not know Ada!
If you want to use picture editing to solve this kind of problem, then
use the picture editing in Ada, no need to wander off into PL/1, even in
the unlikely case that you have a PL/1 compiler at hand. Personally I
dislike the picture stuff in PL/1, they tried to improve on COBOL and
made a mess of it.
