Default Dropping leading zeros in character fields.

Hello Group
I am programatically creating an excel work sheet loading
the columns from fields in a Database file. The fields
in the DB are defined as character but when the spread
sheet gets created it drops the leading zeros. It assume
the data is numeric but it is not. These leading zeros
are required. Does anyone know how I can resolve this
problem.
I am using a program language called Visual RPG which is
very similar to Visual Basic.
Thanks.
