I have values in bytes which are being read and then using the MGBYTES. format or SIZEKMG. format printed now problem is there are some small values being calculated in Bytes/KB while others are large enough to make GB however requirement is irrespective of Bytes/KB  or GB have them printed only in the "MB" format...so for example below ...

1316M1
0:00No Limit296K0
0:30????????3200M27G31
0:45No Limit1129M1
0:45bbbbbbb  ffsfgsdfg300M30G

Anybody got idea how do i make sure these all only printed in MB so for example 0:00 value 296K should be printed as 0.28MB while 27GB should be printed as 27567MB ...

These all values are initially in bytes...

Create your own format, 1024 bytes in 1kb and 1024kb is 1MB

So your initial value divided by 1024*1024 then format either manually or via custom format.

want=cat(put(value/(1024**2), 8.2 -l), "MB");
