 You may want to try some thing like the simple example below: 
      BTEQ -- Enter your DBC/SQL request or BTEQ command:
     select 27/(28 (decimal(16,4))) * 100;
     select 27/(28 (decimal(16,4))) * 100;
      *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned.
      *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.
            ((27/28)*100)
     --------------------
                  96.4300
      BTEQ -- Enter your DBC/SQL request or BTEQ command:
     select 27/(28 (decimal(16,4))) * 100 (decimal (16,2));
     select 27/(28 (decimal(16,4))) * 100 (decimal (16,2));
      *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned.
      *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.
          ((27/28)*100)
     ------------------
                  96.43
