Change creditor DD reference number calculation

The 10 character DD reference number is currently constructed within the creditor payments batch by combining “DD” with the batch number, two leading zeros and then an incrementing number. If the batch number is now a 5 digit number, then this leaves only 1 character available for the incrementing number which means that for larger batches, multiple transactions can end up with the same reference number.

It would be helpful if the number of leading zeros added could depend on the value of the incrementing number eg two leading zeros if less than 10, 1 leading zero if less than 100 and no leading zeros if over 100.
