Can I get more than two decimal places on a PCT.? I have defined the field as D8.4% but still only get two decimal places in the output.
Thanks!

Should work. We have some formatted to 6 places. Can you give us a code snippet?

Darin,
Here is a snippet of the code. Thanks!

TABLE FILE IMACCM
SUM
PCT.TRAN_AMT/D8.4% NOPRINT
BY BANK NOPRINT
BY TC NOPRINT
COUNT ACCT AS ''
BY BANK NOPRINT
BY TC NOPRINT
BY R_TC8 AS 'TC'
BY DTPOST AS 'POSTED'
ACROSS R_TRAN_AMT AS 'TX AMT'
ON TC SUBFOOT
TOTAL PERCENTAGE OF DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR
TC = ST.PCT.TRAN_AMT

Do I need the formatting on the SUBFOOT?

About the only time I can think of when this doesn't work as you might expect is when doing a PCT.CNT.fieldname. For whatever reason, if you just throw a format on the end of that (/D8.5%) it gets ignored. Whether that's a bug or not is up for discussion - I vote aye.) This is easily overcome by making it a compute (COMPUTE NFIELD/D8.5%=PCT.CNT.FIELDNAME; ) Any other PCT. usage should work as Francis shows.

Darin

Please put your code between 
[code]
[/code]
tags as the subfoot code is not displayed in your posting.

You will have to compute the percentage and use that computed field in the subfoot:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
COMPUTE PCT_RETAIL/D8.4% = PCT.RETAIL_COST; NOPRINT
RETAIL_COST
PCT.RETAIL_COST/D8.4%
BY COUNTRY SUBHEAD
"<PCT_RETAIL"
END

If you're using it later in a subfoot, I would definitely make it a COMPUTEd field

What is the format of TRAN_AMT? If it is an integer, you will not see any decimals with PCT.TRAN_AMT. Run the following example:
  
DEFINE FILE CAR
DSALES/D6=SALES;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
PCT.SALES/D8.4%
PCT.DSALES/D8.4%
BY COUNTRY
END

The format of TRAN_AMT is P19.2.
I tried the COMPUTE and it is now working.
