How would I yank the last digit from a 3 decimal places to two without rounding the 2 decimal place?

Stick the number into a packed decimal field.

DEFINE/COMPUTE NEWFIELD/P20.2 = MY20D3FIELD ;

You can use define or compute for changing the format else simple put format with / for example

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES/D20.2
BY MODEL
END

FORMAT D20.2 will restrict yr decimal filed value upto 2 decimal place.

You can be trying the one method of use INT. This not be nice but work!
TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM COMPUTE VALUE/D12.3 = IF LAST VALUE EQ 0 THEN 1.99 ELSE LAST VALUE + 0.001;
-* This is be line important for you
      COMPUTE BASE/P7.2 = INT(VALUE * 100) / 100;
   BY CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
END

Forgot, no use double precision as is retains all decimals - no good for you and this. Need packed decimal like Waz say as no retain decimals after using INT.

What code did you use ?

The P format should work for you

Multiple it by 1000 then convert it to an alpha with the edit function, then replace the last character with a 0, then convert is back to a decimal and then device by 1000.
