Hiding blanks while using dynamically formatted fields

I have a situation where we need to hide rows that are all 0's / null values. However, I also need to dynamically format which output type is used given the type of data being passed back from the stored procedure.

Here's what I used to have when the hiding worked correctly...

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS INFILE
END


TABLE FILE INFILE
&RO

COMPUTE CALCCOUNT/I10C MISSING ON = SPCALCCOUNT; AS ' '

However, two new rows were added that passed back values for CALCCOUNT in the stored procedure. These were floating point fields rather than integer fields which we wanted to display as decimals. So I dynamically formatted the fields as such (however, the calculate no longer worked so I had to remove that)...

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS INFILE
END

DEFINE FILE INFILE
MYFORMAT/A8=DECODE SPCALCTYPE ('% Commit' 'D12.2%' '% Sold' 'D12.2%' ELSE 'I10C');
END

TABLE FILE INFILE
&RO

SPCALCCOUNT/MYFORMAT AS ' '
...

Is there anyway for me to get the calculate with MISSING ON back in so I can hide the nulls while maintaining the dynamic formatting?

Where does &RO originate and what does it contain?

Anyway, if you know the column names, add 
COMPUTE TAKE/I1 = (COL1 NE 0) OR (COL2 NE 0) OR ...;

IF TOTAL TAKE NE 0       (or simply: IF TAKE IS TRUE)

to the TABLE request. If all the cols are zero or missing (whether I or P or D format), TAKE is zero and the row is suppressed by the IF; otherwise the row prints.
