Just do a little DO LOOP with this as the meat of the LOOP:
Using the CHECK Op code.

 *...1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...
  I..............Namedconstant+++++++++C.........Fldnme......... ....
  I*
  I* After the following example, N=6 and the found indicator 90
  I* is on.  Because the start position is 2, the first nonnumeric
  I* character found is the '.'.
  I*
  I              '0123456789'          C         DIGITS
  *...1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...
  CL0N01N02N03Factor1+++OpcdeFactor2+++ResultLenDHHiLoEqComments++++++

  C                     MOVE '$2000.'  SALARY
  C           DIGITS    CHECKSALARY:2  N              90
