In your DICT item (for Unidata) you can specify a conversion. I've only done this on a 4 digit after the decimal to a 2 digit after the decimal, and it was either MD24 or MD42 (can't remember which). This just lets the system know the data in the dict is at MD4 but you want your output to be

Ahh...apparently the system you work with is actually storing the decimal point. The systems I've worked with do not store the actual decimal point, so therefore the MD82 dealy-bob wouldn't be applicable. At least the brain vapors have been eliminated!!! ;-D I too had 'one of those mornings'.

Hi George, It's always a good idea when concatenating to be sure that you put in a character to separate the fields so that later on it's easy to take them back apart if necessary. Otherwise you won't know where the mfg.no stops and the part.no starts. 002:MFG.NO:|:PART.NO Allen E. Elwood
