Hello:

 

I found number format is different in the column of "Pval".   One is 1E-6 and the other one is 0.00001.  I used format best8.6, I found it still shows 1E-6.   If I would like to get all of numbers format in the "0.000001", please advice how to approach.   Thanks.

You should review how formats are specified, what the portion means after the decimal point especially and the concept of the width. This is all available in the documentation.
