Description bmarcelly 2003-11-06 17:59:26 UTC 
I came upon this problem in Basic :

Sub Main
Dim n As Integer
  n = 1
  print Format(n, "0000"), Format(n-1, "0000")
End Sub

Reading the on-line Help on Format instruction, I would expect this result:
0001     0000
However the result is:
0001
Value zero is formatted into a null string. I consider this a bug.
