Hello,



convert your long to string with str$(),
read the first two positions of the string variable = string(1;2)
convert string-variable to NUM with lval()

If you know how long the number is, you could also use division:

[longvariable] = 123456 / 10000

A long divided by a long returns a long so the remainder is truncated.
