In the DEFINE clause you can do:

-* Floating number
X     /F15  = 110023;                                                   
-* Convert a floating numer to alpha
X1    /A15  = FTOA(X, '(F15)', X1);                                     
-* Justify the number to left
X2    /A15  = LJUST(15,X1,X2);                                          
-*
NAME2 /A200 = '<_OPTION VALUE=''' || X2 || '''>' || 'KEY'|| '';


EDIT function put leading zeroes, so you get 000000000110023

Using a numeric directly in EDIT and FTOA/PTOA is not allowed.

For edit use

COMPUTE NAME1/A10 = EDIT(EDIT('110023')); NOPRINT

There is no equivalent for FTOA/PTOA and the value must be assigned to a field first.

But if you are using a static value then do the obvious

COMPUTE NAME2/A200 = '<_OPTION VALUE=''' || '110023' || '''>' || 'KEY'|| '';

However I assume that you are just giving a poor example of what you want to do and it's
actually a column that you want in there, in which case standard EDIT or FTOA is all you need.

COMPUTE NEW2/A2 = SUBSTR(15, NAME, 6, 7, 2, NEW2); NOPRINT
COMPUTE Y_DESC/I4MTY=EDIT (NEW2||NEW1) ; NOPRINT
COMPUTE X /F15 = MAIN_ID;NOPRINT
COMPUTE X1 /A15 = FTOA(X, '(F15)', X1); NOPRINT
COMPUTE X2 /A15 = LJUST(15,X1,X2);NOPRINT
COMPUTE test/A50=X2||NAME ;
HEADING
