Thanks all. The length test or putting an alpha char before both seems like the
easiest. I was hoping there was another more elegant way. This makes me
rethink my LC habits in a big way. I was hoping that there was a way to coerce
"005" into a string of 3 chars.

Hi.
Not sure what test values fit your needs, but does this help?
function noZeros arg1.arg2
if the length of arg1 <> the length of arg2 and arg1 = arg2 then return
"false" else return "true"

This sidesteps several issues, but may not address, as I mentioned above, all
