I want the 100th place of the visit number to correspond with the PERIOD number, where period is based on the subject's individual timeline rather than the study timeline (e.g. Subject B joins the study during second round of drug administration (VISHAVE 300s). Since this drug and follow-up period would be Subject B's first, it counts as Period 1 (VISWANT 200s)).
I essentially want to make sure each visit number starts with the associated period number + 1. I figured the easiest way would be to save the last two digits as a temporary variable and then add (period+1)*100.
e.g. VISHAVE = 312 and PERIOD = 1, then TMP = 12
VISWANT = (PERIOD+1)*100 + TMP = (2)*100 + 12 = 212
Is there a way to only keep a value up to the tenth place?

I assume you mean that if the value is 304, then you want 4. If the value is 312 then you want 12. Am I correct? (If not, explain more clearly and give examples of "Is there a way to only keep a value up to the tenth place?")
Use the MOD function
wanted_variable = mod(period,100);
