I am using Vivado 2014.2 to write VHDL code for a BCD to Binary input buffer that could be used for a calculator or a combo lock.
My method is simple. to do x*10 it is the same as x(2 + 8) = x*2 + x*8.
x*2 = 1 left shift (2^1 = 2)
x*8 = 3 left shifts (2^3 = 8)
The output buffer(tempC) is shifted and added before the input is added. This is done so that when starting from null so that the first digit entered doesn't come out multiplied by 10.
My code compiles and runs on an artix 7 fpga, but I am having issues making sure that the output buffer(tempC) is working correctly. It refuses to output any data, but I am not sure why.
I could be adding the values together wrong but I dont think its that. Maybe i'm casting to a wrong data type?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay with help from some of the comments and answers I was able to get it to work. The following is the code used.
