Question/Problem Description
When formatting AMT fields, in the input file an amount comes in as '61 00', DataType is defined as "Number - stored as text", this is translated to "6100". 
However, in the X12, it should be translated to "61". Trailing zeros should not be displayed. 
An amount like "61 02" has to be translated to '61.02'.

Resolution
Scale the number. For the properties of CHARGES, set the "Fractional Digits" to "2" and the "Scale" to "-2". 
The first setting will allow two decimal places, and the latter will tell the convert that the number is specified as an integer but must be divided by 10^2.
