[SOLVED]PERCENTAGE SIGN WITH ALPHA FIELD

Hello everyone.

I have searched the forum quite a bit, but I have not found a specific example close to what I need.

In my code below, I need to be able to add the percentage sign for alpha_rate_f when there is a value. If the calculation results in a hyphen, I'll leave it as a hyphen.

I've considered different methods. Is concatenation the best and simplest?

 TABLE FILE FINDATA
PRINT STORE
DEPT_SORT
DEPT_DESC
COSTS
AND COMPUTE COSTS2/A99=STRREP(100,COSTS,1,',',0,'X',99,COSTS2);
COMPUTE COSTS3/D12=ATODBL(COSTS2, '99', COSTS3);
COMPUTE COSTS4/D12=IF DEPT_SORT EQ '9' AND COSTS3 LT '5' THEN '0' ELSE COSTS3;
SALES
AND COMPUTE SALES2/A99=STRREP(100,SALES,1,',',0,'X',99,SALES2);
COMPUTE SALES3/D12=ATODBL(SALES2, '99', SALES3);
COMPUTE SALES4/D12=IF DEPT_SORT EQ '9' AND SALES3 LT '5' THEN '0' ELSE IF DEPT_SORT NE '9' THEN SALES3 ELSE SALES3;
COMPUTE RATE/D12% MISSING ON=IF SALES4 GT 0 AND COSTS4 GT 0 THEN SALES4/COSTS4 *100 ELSE MISSING;

COMPUTE ALPHA_COSTS/A15 = FTOA(COSTS4, '(D12)', ALPHA_COSTS);
COMPUTE ALPHA_COSTS_F/A15=IF COSTS4 EQ '0' THEN '^' ELSE ALPHA_COSTS;

COMPUTE ALPHA_SALES/A15 = FTOA(SALES4, '(D12)', ALPHA_SALES);
COMPUTE ALPHA_SALES_F/A15=IF SALES4 EQ '0' THEN '^' ELSE ALPHA_SALES;

COMPUTE ALPHA_RATE/A15 = FTOA(RATE, '(D12)', ALPHA_RATE);
COMPUTE ALPHA_RATE_F/A15=IF RATE EQ '0' THEN '-' ELSE ALPHA_RATE;

HOLD AS FINRPT
END
-RUN

Since your result is an alpha, not a lot of choices

COMPUTE ALPHA_RATE_F/A16V=IF RATE EQ '0' THEN '-' ELSE ALPHA_RATE || '%';

FYI,

You could always have used FPRINT, check it out in the function documentation

I would also suggest, depending on the use, to add LTRIM() around the FPRINT, to remove the leading spaces.
