Ignoring the fact that you say you are holding a fraction/decimal in an INTEGER field, you have neglected to say whether you are writing an ACE report or 4GL. Assuming it is 4GL you are interested in, try: PRINT xyz USING "#####" I cannot find the manual, so I am not entirely certain, but you should find a section that gives examples of the various print formats in Volume 1 of the Informix programmers reference.
