Re: Query/400: Adding % sign to Report

[DaleGindlesperger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Try using this for an edit word:

'xxx.xx%' where every 'x' is actually a space.  You have to leave a space
in the edit word for every digit in the numeric field.  Since the field you
mentioned has a length of 5 with 2 decimal positions, you have to have 5
blanks in the edit word.  Query/400 will fill in the blanks with the actual
digits in the field, automatically doing a decimal point alignment.

In that case, the field with 10000 in it will show 100.00%.   05000 will
show as 50.00%.

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.
