Hi ,

I have a numeric variable which contains value as 0 (ZERO).in order to avoid displaying them in a report. I used BLANK WHEN ZERO Is that variable can be used in any arithmetic operrations. Since BLANK WHEN ZERO is one of the editing picture clause.Using them in to arithmetic operation is acceptable.
Regards,
P.Karthik

pkarthik,

You can't use the Numeric Edited variables in arithmetic operations. You need to use another normal numeric variable, perform all calculations and finally before you write to the report, move its contents to the numeric edited and write that onto the report file.

hope this helps,

Thanks,
