  Wouldn't just a simple  mid  statement do the trick?

   cb=mid(cb,1,3)

Good Day,
I have a Filepro question.

I am trying to strip the decimal out of a number.
I have this written;

cb(10,.0)=25

25 is (10,.2)

if the number for field 25 is 880.88
I get 881 out for dummy cb
or if the number is 710.00 I get 710 instead of 71000

How do you strip out a numbers decimal and stop the rounding and dropping of
the 00

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Yes, but only will work if your numbers are always
the same length.

Check out the floor and int functions -
floor(expression) returns the next less int. w/
same length, edit as expression whereas
int(n) return the integer portion of a number.
