Hi Art,

From the manual, "If the first parameter is longer than the second parameter, the additional characters in the first parameter
are ignored."

However, even if that worked, what would happen with your 1st example?

NTE*OTH*#F7- PST/SALES TAX GAZE9H01/MNT/ / 6/- 1.23~ 7 9 01 6 1.23 Assuming %dec ignores all spaces, which the manual says, you'd end up with 790161.23. Not sure if negative or positive sign matters in your situation. -- *Peter Dow* /Dow Software Services, Inc. 909 793-9050 petercdow@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:petercdow@xxxxxxxxx> pdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:pdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> /

I tried this but it's not replacing anything. I was thinking I couldremove anything that isn't a number and then use %DEC. The field name is NTE nte = %xlate('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ':' ':nte); nte = %xlate('!@#$%^&*()_-+=\|]}[{:;/?.>,<':'':nte); nte = %xlate(quote:'':nte);
