I am creating a file from SQL code,and I am creating a new field in the file using the sum parameter. But the sum field size after I run the code is much larger than I need or want. How can I set its field size?

It is not clear to me what you are trying to achieve. Are you saying the number of characters resulting from a SUM(Column1) is too much? Are you getting unwanted decimal places? Please provide an example of what you are getting and what you want.

The resulting field is too large, about size of packed 30. I need only 10.
