Hello. I would really appreciate any assistance I can get from this forum. There is this variable XYZ/P11.2. I want to display it without the decimal point. Say 599.95 will come out as 59995. I read through a lot of discussions but usually the topic is about truncating the decimal values and not about removing the decimal point

Thank you for taking the time.

DEFINE FILE CAR
PFLD/P11.2=599.95;
PFLD2/P11=PFLD*100;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY PFLD PFLD2 
IF READLIMIT EQ 1
END

Multiply it by 100. Basic arithmetic.

Of course. I was bent on converting to an alpha then extracting and stripping. Thank you much. Can I ask another question, please?

So now that I have 59995, I also have 4210 and 100170. I need to have them printed onto a text file where total num of chars in a string is 6. Meaning 599.95=059995, 42.10=004210 and 1001.70=100170. Is there a function to count number of digits like ARGLEN is to an alphanumeric? This way I can just concatenate with either '0' or '00'?

Thank you very much.

After you do the multiplication, can't you just convert them to an I6 format with leading zeros displayed. I think the format for that is I6L. You can then hold as FORMAT ALPHA. See what that does for you.

Oh wow. Worked like a charm. Thank you so very much, GinnyJakes.
