Hi Kishore,

There is  no such mask or format, which can multiply with 100 and concat
with %. But you can simplify the  above problem by just multiplying with 100
or using the substr & instr  function. You can mask with % (Percentage sign)
using edit in print command.   The following example simplifies your problem

Ex:

Let #number = 0.56
      or databse column

Let $percent = #number * 100
      Or
Let $percent  = substr(#number,instr(#number,'.')+1,2)

Print $percent edit  xx%

Hope this may help,

Raji

I am trying to print a report, I want to show a field in percentage:
say
$percent = 0.34
in print section on the report I want it to be printed as 34%.
Print $percent  ( 2,14) ?????????
I know that we can multiply with 100 and concat with '%'
Is there any mask for this.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Kishore.
