I guess, I was not correct in stating the problem. I need to correctly find out the number of digits after decimal point including traling zeros. Sorry for confusion. Solutions based on transform obviously would not work. However,
padl( 12.3456000 , 100 ) works fine. So, this is the answer!

I found it!!!!!! Simple.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
