display % sign

The % symbol is a special character in the "Picture Clause", that's what the display pattern is called and there is a reference document for it somewhere on the Adobe web site. To use this symbol you have to specify the unicode character code. for it. The Picture Clause below not only displays the % symbol, it also moves the decimal point, so the real field value could be "0.25", but it would display as "25%"

num(en){szzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzvz9'.'9z'\u0025'}

Thanks, but what if I didn't want to move the decimal point. For instance if 25 was typed instead of 0.25?

I looked up the reference but I could not find any information about the % sign.

You can put the % into your original picture clause

num(en){sz9.9'\u0025'}

I could be wrong about % being a special character. It's been a while since I looked over the picture clause info. But when I originally developed the % picture clause in the previous post I used the unicode character code instead of just using %. I thought I did it because there was an issue with using the character directly, but I could have just been being fancy.

I have found the below pattern to display my percentage and numbers just as typed:

num(en){zz9'\u0025'}

So, if you enter "20" in the field, it will display "20%" without decimals or extra digits.

Hope this helps!
