Try this:
String.format("%10d",row1.field1) 

Just remember to replace 'row1.field1' by your value.

Hi,
try with below one:
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==9?("0"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==8?("00"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==7?("000"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==6?("0000"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==5?("00000"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==4?("000000"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==3?("0000000"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==2?("00000000"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==1?("000000000"+row1.Input):
StringHandling.LEN(row1.Input)==0?("0000000000"+row1.Input):row1.Input

Hi,
We can achieve the same thing in different ways. I thought this solution could be very precise and simple.
Use the fallowing expression:
("0000000000" +row1.Test).substring(row1.Test.length())
here row1.Test would be your input & based on the size u can increase/decrease the zeros.

Earlier I tried this one:
StringHandling.LEN(Var.var1)==5?"00000"+Var.var1:
StringHandling.LEN(Var.var1)==6?"0000"+Var.var1:
StringHandling.LEN(Var.var1)==8?"00"+Var.var1:
Var.var1 
Output:
