Got it to work!  It's ugly, but effective (my life story).

Thank you all for your advice.

        Brian,

        I have been there --  done this.

        Create three fields in your application --  one numeric field for
the integer part of your data, one for the decimal part, and sandwich in a
literal period for your decimal point.  Map SAC05 to both data fields in
your application record, and fill the decimal with a period.  You will get
truncation warnings, that\'s the price you pay.

        > Hi All,

        Once again I need to draw upon your expertise.  I need your help
with
        regards to taking an amount field in the SAC segment (856 document),
and
        having it be formatted in such a way that it satisfies our
applications
        format requirement.  My translator is a Harbinger 4.1/Unix version.

        This is what should be sent to us on the SAC segment:

        If freight charge is $25.12 the segment will look like:
        SAC*C*D240***2512

        If freight charge is $25.00 the segment will look like:
        SAC*C*D240***2500

        My application record should have the translated field look like
00025.12
        (leading zeros are required)

        My problem is that when I do a translation, I can not get the
leading zeros,
        since the translator justifies to the left.  Any suggestions?

        Thanks again,
