format-number does what it says - it formats a number, it doesn't multiply
it by 100 or 1000.
Try substring(concat($num, '00000'), 1, 5)

Subject: [xsl] right padding with zeros
Hi,
How can i right pad a string with zeroes
if a value of 5 digits obtained is 234 it has to be 23400 and
not 00234. Is it possible in format-number.?
I tried but getting only right padded
