I need to show a percentage IF the county is greater then zero. I tried this code but it comes back "RESULT OF EXPRESSION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE FORMAT OF FIELD".

code
  
PCT_HO_POL/D3%=HO_REMN_POL_LMT / HO_POL_LMT;

PCT_HO_POL1/A6V=IF AGT_CTY_CD GT '0' AND HO_POL_LMT1 EQ '000000' AND HO_REMN_POL_LMT1 EQ '000000' THEN ' ' ELSE PCT_HO_POL ;


All help is greatly appriciated!!!
Thank you in advance.

You cannot assign a numeric field to an alpha field that way.

Do a search on PTOA and/or FTOA function which allows you to convert numbers to alphanumeric values.

You'll find out that FTOA allows you to use "any" valid numeric format and assign it to a alpha field. No worries, it'll work!

what about
PCT_HO_POL1/D3% MISSING ON =IF AGT_CTY_CD GT '0' AND HO_POL_LMT1 EQ '000000' AND HO_REMN_POL_LMT1 EQ '000000' THEN MISSING ELSE PCT_HO_POL ;

You can also try this approach:

DEFINE FILE CAR
PCT_HO_POL/D5%  = IF COUNTRY EQ 'JAPAN' THEN 0 ELSE (SALES / SALES * SEATS);
PCT_FMT/A8      = IF COUNTRY EQ 'JAPAN' THEN 'I6L' ELSE 'D5%';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
      PCT_HO_POL/PCT_FMT
END


The advantage of this one over the use of FTOA is that you'll be still dealing with actual numbers so they can be used in SUBTOTALs a/o TOTALs in the report.

Hope that helps,

This got me very close to what they are requesting. It places a period (.) in the field. :-)

Thanks for all the quick responses. I will try some of the otheres as well.

Again Thank you! I'm so close now. Big Grin
