How can i replace the period in amount using cobol?
e.g. 150000.00
I want it to be 15000000

Does the field only contain "numbers"? If so, look at FUNCTION NUMVAL in the manual.

If not, let us know what it can contain.

or multiply by 100 - provided it is a numeric field with numerics in it.

Hello,

or multiply by 100 - provided it is a numeric field with numerics in it.

And make sure the target field has no decimal places defined.

Unfortunately, any "maths2 with something that "looks like" this, 150000.00, ie has an actual fullstop/period, will go BANG! S0C7 :-)
