Lets say that the HOLD is a D20.2%

How would the LINE look
-READ HOLD &Car.A16

Would it be:
-READ HOLD &CAR.D20.2%

You can only specifiy A or I formats in the -READ command.
Amper variables are used elsewhere in code as if they are a piece of text that you typed in. That text will contain alphanumeric characters or numeric characters.

How do you want to use the variable once it is populated?
If you are going to use it as a numeric value somewhere I'd probably use the edit option 'c' to suppress the commas in the value.

In your example ...
ON TABLE HOLD AS MEDIAN FORMAT FOCUS
END
TABLE FILE MEDIAN
PRINT AUX0/D20.2c
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-READ HOLD &AUX0.A20.

If the value was 1234567.89...
Whenever you use &AUX0 in your code it's as if you typed in the numeric value.

I hope that makes sense.

Thank you, that works! I had to use TRUNCATE a little and modify it a bit more to fit my needs. But you solved my issue!!!

Thanks
