Hi,

I know that there is a lot of info out there on this subject but I can't quite find exactly what I'm looking for.

I have a A15 field (000000005930000), I need it to look like 59.30. I can trim the leading zeros, but if I trim trailing then I get 593. I need to keep one trailing zero.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Once you've trimmed the leading zeroes, couldn't you use EDIT to pick up what now are the first 4 characters and insert the dot?
TRIM4/A5=EDIT(TRIMMED,'99.99');

I think what CathyB means she gets 59.3 but wants 059.3

If that is the case then its '0' || the trimed field

Thank you thats really close, but I failed to mention that this field varies, one is the exsample I gave and then I could have (000000012530000) which should translate to 125.30. I could have others that (0000000112530000) which would be 1125.30. Basically this a A15 field that needs to be a D12.2 field trimming the leading zeros and all but one zero on the end.

If the format of the alpha field is always the same then just convert field to numeric and divide by 100000.

 
DEFINE FILE CAR
NMX/A15 = '000000005930000';
NM/D15.2 = EDIT(NMX)/100000.00;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR 
NM
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END
