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.)
