I need to read a decimal value from a temp SAVE file then use it as a variable for further process. I am using technique as
-READ SAVEFILE &Var1.length. &VAR2.length.
But I got error when the &Var contains decimal point. Any suggestion? thanks in advanced.

Here I use CAR table to illustrate my question. I need to compute the Profit as D12.2.
  
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
     CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
     COMPUTE Profit/D12.2 = CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST * 0.10;
BY  LOWEST CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SAVE AS 'SAVE_1' FORMAT ALPHA
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

-READ SAVE_1    &COUNTRY.A10.     &COST.A11.     &PROFIT.A12
-TYPE &COUNTRY  ";"  &COST ";" &PROFIT


My output has error of &PROFIT as :
ENGLAND ";" 45319 ";" 4531.90FRAN

As you are using SAVE, what is shown in the save fields ?

It should list each field saves and its format.

This works for me, compare your code to mine...
  
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
     CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
     COMPUTE Profit/D12.2 = CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST * 0.10; NOPRINT
	 COMPUTE PROFIT2/A15 = FPRINT(Profit, 'D12.2', PROFIT2);

BY  LOWEST CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY
ON TABLE HOLD AS 'SAVE_1' FORMAT ALPHA
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-SET &XLINES = &LINES;
-REPEAT GET_DATA &XLINES TIMES
-READ SAVE_1 NOCLOSE &COUNTRY.A10. &COST.I7. &PROFIT2.A15.
-TYPE &COUNTRY  ";"  &COST ";" &PROFIT2
-GET_DATA
-EXIT

Output is:
  
 ENGLAND     ";"    45319 ";"       4,531.90
 FRANCE      ";"     5610 ";"         561.00
 ITALY       ";"    51065 ";"       5,106.50
 JAPAN       ";"     6478 ";"         647.80
 W GERMANY   ";"    64732 ";"       6,473.20
