RE: Converting char to numeric for editing

There was a recent discussion about this. One should search the archives
before posting. :)

Having said that, this should work.

V3 = %EditC(%dec(%Subst(rpltxt:1:11):11:2):'J');

I need to edit a char value that resides in rpltxt which is a 80 char
field left justified that looks lik this 00000012566.

I need it to end up in V3 edited to look like this 125.66

This is what I'm getting using the code below: ' 12,566.00

This is what I'm currently using that isn't working.
I know this is going the long way around, but got frustrated with my
original attempts.

appreciate your help.

ALP11 = %subst(rpltxt:1:11);
Num11 = %dec(alp11:11:2);
V3 = %EDITC(Num11:'J');

d rpltxt s 80
d Num11 S 11 2
d Alp11 S 11
d v3 s 50 varying
