Hi,

I am trying to display a column as Percentage value in excel(TABT) format.But I am not able to display the % symbol while using TABT format. The same works fine with EXL2K and EXL07 formats.

Below is the sample code of the column,

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE NEW_COST/D20.2% = (RCOST/DCOST)*100;
END

I need the result to be displayed as

NEW_COST
119%
125%

But it displays only numbers
119
125

I have this issue only when i try to make it a TABT report. Is this a limitation TABT format?

Any suggestions please?


P.S. The value that is passed is D20.2

My guess is that with TABT, there is no formatting saved with the data., if you need the %, then I would suggest converting the value to text with, say, FPRINT.

As Waz suggested, you need to convert the format to alphanumeric and concatenate '%' to its end.
