HI I Have one value which is displayed in the PDF/HTML Output format as '-20092840726542',
But the same value has been displayed as -2.00928E+13 in Excel output format.
I want to display this value same as that of PDF/HTML.

I have tried to increase length of this field, but doesn't work.
Any suggestion with this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Seems to work for me:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE NUMBER1/D15 = -20092840726542;
COMPUTE NUMBER2/D15 = -20092840726542;
COMPUTE NUMBER3/D15 = -20092840726542;
COMPUTE NUMBER4/D15 = 200928343326542;
COMPUTE NUMBER5/D15 = -20092840726542;
COMPUTE NUMBER6/D15 = 120140722432542;

COMPUTE ALPHA1/A15 = '-20092840726542';
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=10, $
TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD, $
ENDSTYLE
END


No exponentials in Excel, but I don't have 7.1 to test that version.

The problem is with packed decimal. Try to convert it into decimal. Here is the difference between these two formats.

DEFINE FILE CAR
NUMBER1/P15 = -20092840726542;
NUMBER2/D15 = -20092840726542;
ALPHA1/A15 = '-20092840726542';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
NUMBER1
NUMBER2
ALPHA1
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=10, $
TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD, $
ENDSTYLE
END

And the moral of the story is do not used packed for Excel output.

Packed format is not native to Windows so why should it behave as if it was.
