How do I get a % sign to display when using PCT.CNT?

Example:
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
CNT.MODEL AS 'MODEL COUNT'
PCT.CNT.MODEL/D8.2% AS 'PERCENT'
BY CAR
END

Results:
CAR MODEL COUNT PERCENT
ALFA ROMEO 3 16.67
AUDI 1 5.56
BMW 6 33.33
DATSUN 1 5.56
JAGUAR 2 11.11
JENSEN 1 5.56
MASERATI 1 5.56
PEUGEOT 1 5.56
TOYOTA 1 5.56
TRIUMPH 1 5.56

I want to see:
ALFA ROMEO 3 16.67%
AUDI 1 5.56%
...

Thanks,

Unfortunately, according to the documentation,
quote:
PCT.CNT. - Computes a field's percentage based on the number of instances found. The format of the result is always F6.2 and cannot be reformatted.


You could have an intermediary HOLD file:

SET ASNAMES=ON
SET HOLDLIST=PRINTONLY
SET HOLDFORMAT=ALPHA
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
CNT.MODEL AS 'MODEL_COUNT'
PCT.CNT.MODEL AS 'PERCENT'
BY CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLDCAR
END
TABLE FILE HOLDCAR
SUM 
MODEL_COUNT AS 'MODEL_COUNT'
PERCENT/D8.2% AS 'PERCENT'
BY CAR
END

Thanks. I was hoping there was some kind of Jack O'Neill trick to avoid the extra steps.

How about using COMPUTE?
  
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
CNT.MODEL AS 'MODEL COUNT'
PCT.CNT.MODEL NOPRINT
COMPUTE PCTCNT/D8.2%=PCT.CNT.MODEL;
 AS 'PERCENT'

BY CAR
END


No Extra Steps...

Daniel, thanks for posting the easy way to do this. I just encountered this problem and was able to solve it using your solution. So simple, and my first time using the Text View instead of Report Painter to change something in a report! It did take me a few trys to get it right because I was using a crosstab which was complicating things. So I took off the crosstab, entered the text view solution and added the crosstab back in, and it worked perfectly.

Thanks again!

Francis,

As in "Some like it hot", nobody is perfect!

Mary,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Focus. I've been at it for - yikes - 26 years, and I enjoy every day! Don't be shy and ask. But especially, never be afraid to try.
