Hallo David,

if you use field-names in your EVAL-expression, EVAL will apply the
conversion, format and single-/multivalue-attribute of the first field you
mention in your expression for the result. You can overwrite this using then
CONV-, FTM-, SINGLE.VALUE- and MULTI.VALUE-keywords. So try for example:

... EVAL "OCONV(ARPI.AMT*100/3, 'MD12')" CONV "" FMT "10R" ...

and it will do what you expect. (The above is for UniVerse, but I hope it
will be similar for UniData.)

Regards
Thomas
