No problem, I believe you can also use: strAmt = View(Row:=9, Col;=15, Length:=11,True)
The True option would trim in the same manner. Have a Happy Easter!

Matt ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 1:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [talkbws] Capturing data value in Meditech C/S screen Hi All, I'm working on a script for Meditech C/S where I want to store a value from my screen as a variable, and then enter that value in another field on the screen. Here is basic blurb from my script: Dim strAmt as Integer strAmt = View(Row:=9, Col;=15, Length:=11) Enter strAmt The problem I seem to be running into is the data I am trying to capture is a currency amount, and is right justified. So when the script goes to Enter strAmt, spaces are put before the dollar amount, so "288.00" becomes " 288.00" which is an invalid data format for a currency field. Any ideas of how I can successfully capture this data and get it entered into a field?
