Steven,

If you have 880.88 and you wanted 88000 you simply must 

cb(10,.0)  = int(25) *  "100"

In the same token, if you had 710.00 and wanted 71000

cb(10,.0) = int(25) * "100"

given that field 25 holds any of these values at any given
time.

Not need to use xlate(), no need to use mid(), no need to break the field
into multiple fields and put it back together.

That said, if you DO want to round up and elevate it, you can then try

cb(10,.0) = doedit(25,"10,.0","10") * "100"


Hope this helps!
