All the examples and comments (so far) don't even come close to what may
be needed. The assumption so far has been that the input has exactly 2
numbers after the decimal point and that the number is positive.
A true "de-edit" routine needs to take into considerations:
1) The decimal point may or may not exists within the entered data.
2) The number of digits after the decimal point is variable.
3) What type of rounding or truncation is needed if there are too many
digits after the decimal point.
4) There may be a "-" (minus sigh) either before or after the number.
5) There are other ways besides a "-" that may indicate that the number
is negative. (I.e., "CR" or even a par of "()" characters around the
number.)
6) There are different monetary indicators other than the US $ sign.
7) Is there any type of character validation needed? (I.e, what do you
do if something other than "0-9,-,+,commna,decimal_point" is found in
the data?
And those items are just what I can think of off the top of my head.
There are sure to be other items to consider.

Subject: converting character to packed
I have character data in a field (ex. $13,501,298.01) and I need to remove the
special characters and convert field from char to packed? Can someone give a
suggestion on the best and simplest way to do it, thanks?
