Pleas post a complete program (and data) that demonstrates your problem. I cannot duplicate it.

use strict;
use warnings;
*IN = *DATA;
my $row;
my $val;

while ( $row = <IN> ) {
    $val = substr( $row, 0, 1 );
    my @tranAmount = substr( $row, 68, 17 );

    foreach (@tranAmount) {
        print "$_\n";
    }
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
