Query/400: Adding % sign to Report

Hi group:

I hope this posting isn't too off point for the Mapics ML.

I have a query that reports a % variance in one of the report columns.

On the "Specify Report Column Formatting" page, the column settings are shown 
as:

Field: PCCHANGE

Column Spacing: 2

Column Heading:

ISS
VAR
 %

Len: 5

Dec: 2

Therefore, the report shows various amounts such as: 100.00, 50.00, etc.

How can I use the Edit Word function (F16 Edit) so the Report shows: 100.00%, 
50.00%, etc.

I tried reading the "Specifying Edit Word" section of the IBM Query/400 manual 
but I couldn't get a good understanding of how to implement this function.

When I try, I get the Error message: "EDIT WORD DOES NOT MATCH FIELD LENGTH."  
I change the field length and the message still shows up.

I look forward to your assistance.
