How do you define a 2 digit numeric counter?

In Unix it is defined something like

integer counter Z2=00

When you increment it by 5 (eg. counter = $counter+5)
echi $counter gives 05. I need to define a variable with precisely 2 digits

Thx

don't know what you're trying to achieve, but i wouldn't... i'd probably use printf to format it on demand to a 2 digit string at print time.

I thought printf is C not Unix or Linux
