Subject:      Stripping last three numbers from variable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Hi Listserv-
I have a numeric variable field (Provid) that is 7 or 8 numbers long
depending on the situation.  I want to create a new variable that strips
the last 3 digits from that field.  Can someone please show me how to do
this?
Thanks,
Jenny Steffes
