Is there a way to change the precision of a grand total field?

Detail and sub-total field are D20% but grand total should be D20.1%.

Thanks in advance.

You might do this in two steps.

First compute the overall total and combine it via the MORE command to the detailed records.

Then create the final report without the grandtotal, but with the overall total as an extra record.

The overall total field can get an other format based on the BY field.

It's not possible to test it now, so give it a try and let me know if it worked.

I'm sure there are better ways...but

You could have two fields - one you could use in the detail and SubTotal...then you could do the grand total with a Subfoot.
DEFINE FILE WHATEVER
FIELD1/D20% = FIELD;
FIELD2/D20.1% = FIELD;
END

BY FIELD1 SUBTOTAL

SUBFOOT
"TOT.FIELD2"

Yes, that is better Prarie...
My problem is always to get the total value at the proper position in the report.

And should it be 
<TOT.FIELD2
?

Thanks for your replies.

I tried Prarie's suggestion using the CAR file and I'm having problems aligning the grand total with the detail field.

DEFINE FILE CAR
WB1/D20 = WHEELBASE;
WB2/D20.1 = WHEELBASE;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
WB1
BY
COUNTRY

ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS '*TOTAL'
ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"<TOT.WB2 "
END
-EXIT

I think you may be looking for the following to position the title on the report in PDF.

SUBFOOT
"
TYPE=SUBFOOT, BY=FIELD1, ITEM=1, POSITION=FIELD1, $

Yes Pam that will work better, but I believe when you are using ON TABLE SUBFOOT....it is TABFOOTING instead of SUBFOOT in the stylesheet.
