I want to grab the current date and grab the last two digits of the year, the number of the week and add 0001 to the end of it.


select
cast(right(YEAR(getdate()),2)as varchar)+cast((datepart(wk, getdate()))as varchar)+'0001'

The statement above gives me 1220001

How do I make it put a zero in front of the 2? 12020001

But when week 10 gets here the I would just want 12100001
