I have dollar amounts of various sizes..

1234.87
2.87
32.99

as examples...

Ids there a quick way in REXX to reformat AMY dollar amount so they look like

123487
287
3299

essentially just remove te decimal point.

John corbin,

try this

Code:

/* REXX */                             
AMTI = '2.87'                         
NUM1 = LEFT(AMTI,LENGTH(AMTI)-3)       
NUM2 = SUBSTR(AMTI,LENGTH(AMTI)-1)     
AMTO = NUM1||NUM2                     
SAY AMTO                               


Hope this helps...

Cheers

John corbin,

Try this:

Code:

Amt = 1234.87
Amt = space(translate(Amt,'','.'),0)

One more Simple solution,

Multiply the No by 100, remove the last 3 digits.

Example;

AMTI = '2.87'
AMTO = AMTI * 100
SAY SUBSTR(AMTO,1,LENGTH(AMTO)-3)

Shivaraj's solution can further simply to:

Amt = 2.87
say Amt * 100 % 1
