Export to Excel drops leading zeros...

When using the Export button within the EBS OAF pages, the Excel file opens with the data.  However, varchar2 fields in the database that have numeric charaters with leading zeros, the leading zeros are dropped from the data is Excel.

An example is that we have numeric Supplier Sites.  AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL.vendor_site_code has a datatype of varchar2(15).

One of the values we have in the vendor_site_code field is '000002'.

When that value is export to Excel, using the Export button in the EBS OAF pages, the value appears just as 2.

This is bad for the users that use this exported data for analysis.
