How I can display the percentage value in cobol output file . like = %10.13 ?

Can you please let me know the format of that field to display the percentage value?

Hello,

Can you please let me know the format of that field to display the percentage value

The format of the field is already in the code. It should be a numeric field with an implied decimal place.

Do you understand how to calculate a % in a program?

I would probably calculate the % to the needed "size" (xxx.xxxxxx or whatever), move the calculated value to an edited field for zero suppression and decimal insertion, and pre-pend or append the "%" character.
