| Clue me in as to where the "R" comes from. Seems like regardless of what may be preceding your field, it should have nine positions (blank or digit) before the ".". |

Hello,

How many spaces are between the R and the numbers?
If you post the code that creates this output and a more complete example of the data, we may be able to offer suggestions. |

You are going to have 'squeeze' out the spaces.....A little inline perform with reference modification could cure your problem....
But then, that's COBOL.....to quote Dick:
