[SOLVED] Not displaying % sign in EXL2K reports

Hi,

I am trying to display the decimal field with % sign as D6.2% or F6.2% in EXL2K reports and the same is not displaying the %sign in the report. However, the %sign is displaying in HTML report.

Any idea on this?

I guess the workaround would be to convert to character type and cancatenate with % sign.

Please share your ideas.

Thanks

I'm not sure why you are having a problem this works. Unless it's your version?
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
COMPUTE SSAMTH/D8.2% = (DEALER_COST/SALES ) * 100; AS %
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

The version i use is 7.1.4, and instead of compute in your example, i am using RECAP.

As i mentioned in the initial post, it works fine with HTML and when it is changed to EXL2K, it doesn't display.

This fex with a RECAP works in v7.6.5:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
DEALER_COST

BY COUNTRY RECAP PCT1/D10.2% = (SALES/DEALER_COST) * 100; 

BY CAR

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

FYI, The below my sample code.

  
SQL SQLORA SET SERVER CONNECTION
SQL SQLORA
SELECT 'AAA' NAME, 'A' COL2, 100000 CRTD_TOT, 12100 ERROR1 FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'AAA' , 'B' , 200000, 2000 FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'BBB' , 'C' , 300000, 3000 FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'BBB' , 'D' , 400000, 800 FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'CCC' , 'A' , 500000, 5500 FROM DUAL;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
*
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEST_RECAP
END

TABLE FILE TEST_RECAP
PRINT
NAME
COL2
CRTD_TOT
ERROR1
BY COL2 NOPRINT
ON COL2 RECAP RPCT/D6.2% = (ERROR1 / CRTD_TOT) * 100;
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K

Vadivel, we cannot run your sample code if we don't have Oracle and "FROM DUAL" will probably not work with other DBMS.

Did you try my example? It can run on all versions of FOCUS and WebFOCUS.

I tried your example in 7.1.3.

It does not work with FORMAT EXCEL.

It works with PDF, HTML and WP.

I guess it was a bug in 7.1.* that was fixed in a later release.

YOu might try opening a case with IBI, maybe they have a fix for you. Be sure and send them the simple car FEX example and tell them to run in your version.

If you have maintenance then go to www.informationbuilders.com and then locate the link for Tech Support under Services and Support. To gain access to the support site you will need to have a userid and password, for which you will require your site code and site name as held on IB's database (as far as I can remember it is case sensitive - unless they've changed it!).

Alternatively call your local support branch office.

I would suggest upgrading from 7.1.4 to 7.6.2 as a minimum.

However, if you are on 7.1.4 because you do not have valid maintenance then you will not be able to raise a case anyway.

Let us know how you get on.

The % show up with the data but not the subfoots and recaps. I ran across this problem a few years ago with WF 7.1.4 when I first starte my current job. My resolution was in my final query where I generate my report I convert my fields P9.2% to alpha using the PTOA() routine, then use my new field name in my footer. The % sign will appear. Here's an example of the PTOA() function.

APCTS01/A21 = PTOA(PPCTS01, '(P9.2%)', APCTS01);

Hope this helps...
