I'm using the -PROMPT command and it works fine like this:

 -PROMPT &PERCENTINC.I8.Enter Increase Percentage. 


But when I switch the number format from I8 to D2.2 it screws the title up:

 -PROMPT &PERCENTINC.D2.2.Enter Increase Percentage. 


Is there a proper syntax to have a number format with a decimal in a -PROMPT command?

Try DMPRECISION

SET DMPRECISION = 2
-PROMPT &PERCENTINC.Enter Increase Percentage.

You need to add a -RUN after the "SET DMPRECISION = 2" so that it's SET before the dialogue manager command, -PROMPT, is executed.
