RE: PL/SQL-if-statement

I may be overlooking something in this code, but

    vOWNER := right(('0000000'||vOWNER),6)

should replace the entire piece of code and handle short, or even null length vOWNER input.

How can I change this pl/sql code, in the while-statement maybe so that if the field OWNER_NO is NULL, then it should be written six characters? The code looks like
this:

"IF recCursor.OWNER_NO is null then
vOWNER_NO := '000000';
else
v_OWNER_NO:= to_char(recCursor.OWNER_NO); WHILE length(vOWNER_NO) < 6 LOOP
vOWNER_NO '0'0' || vOWNER_NO;
END LOOP;
END IF; How shoud I write to fix this script so therw will be written out 6 characters if the field OWNER_NO is empty. I want to use the WHILE LOOP. Any one whom can help me with this?
