Default field format for CNT.

Is I5 still the default format for the CNT. prefix?

Is there a setting where we can change this?

It is most annoying that we must override the default with a CNT.FIELD_NAME/I8 in one TABLE FILE
and then change the format to D8 so that the PCT. prefix will calculate correctly in another TABLE FILE.

SET COUNTWIDTH=ON changes the default from I5 to I9. Not sure which release.

That's great!

I did NOT know of that parameter.

It works in 5.2.3.

The other parameter I did not know about is

SET BYDISPLAY = ON

Thanks.
