This is of some interest to me, because my SSN has two leading zeroes
and two trailing zeroes!
If the SSN is stored as a numeric (should NEVER do that, but history
is what it is), you need BOTH
the L and R codes:
transform(NumericSSN, '@LR 999-99-9999')
If it's stored as a string, then the simple @R will work.
I learned here years ago that you should NEVER store numbers that will
never be computed (like zip codes, for example) as numeric, but should
instead treat them like strings. Great advice.
