How to add two decimal points in a numerical value irrespective of its length?

[Shradha1]

I have a numerical variable which takes values of varied lengths. I want to add a decimal point before two last two digits in each value. For Example if the original value in a row is 180000, the new value should be 1800.00, and if its 5676456, the new value should be 56764..56

How can I achieve this? Please help

Divide by 100 and use format 10.2 (or similar)

If you need to do this while reading from an external source, use a proper informat:
