    Replacing a Decimal with a letter in a numeric variable.

    I need to replace a Numeric variable containing a decimal such as 130.25 to have the decimal changed to a P such as 130P25. The software I am writing this program for does not recognize a decimal in the naming convention. Does anyone have a clue how this might work. The main problem is the the numbers before and after the decimal can vary in length. So the TAKE command wasn't working. IS there a way to make the program hold 000.00 as the place holder so that a number lik 5.3 would turn into 005.30?

    Create a string out of it, then use the replace() method to replace the dot with a P
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
