EXL2K FORMULA - problems with PCT.

I'm sure I can't do anything about this but it seems quite silly that it happens.

I have several programs that use PCT. to display a percentage.

When I do not use FORMULA in the EXL2K HOLD command, the subtotal percentage is displayed as 100.00%.

When I do use FORMULA in the EXL2K HOLD command, the subtotal percentage is displayed as 100.01%.

It appears that because FORMULA was in the HOLD command, the total is made up of the displayed (D8.2%) values, which, because they're rounded, could add up to more or less than 100.

What should happen is that the individual percentage cells should contain data with more than two decimal places and display with two decimal places - kind of like what's going on internally when not using FORMULA. This would ensure the total to be 100%.

Have you tried changing the field format to P8.2%, I've ran into rounding problems before and this fixed it.
