trimming a numerical variable

[Zdaniuk, Bozena-3]

Hello, I have a 6 digit numerical variable X and i want to create a new variable Y that will consists of the last two digits of X. Var X does not have any decimals.
Could someone help?
thanks so much.

X            Y   
196012    12
194509    09
etc

The obvious function is Modulus,  Y= mod(X, 100). 
If I haven't reversed the arguments.

You won't see a leading 0 on "09" for a simple
numeric variable unless you print it with N2 format.

Just confirming Rich's suggestion.

data list list / X (f6.0).
begin data
196012
194509
end data.
compute Y = mod(x,100).
formats y (n2.0).
list.

OUTPUT:

     X      Y
196012 12
194509 09

Number of cases read:  2    Number of cases listed:  2
