 That you have defined X$YYYY as *dec(4.0) does not guarantee that a valid,
numeric value is passed to the program. I suspect that X$YYYY is *BLANK.

Hi All,
I am from the S36 world and am now working with the AS400.  One very
frustrating thing is the DDE's that I get from time to time.  Please
look at the following:

I have a program that gets called from other programs-
C***************************************************************** 
C* MAINLINE CALCULATION AREA.                                    * 
C***************************************************************** 
C           *ENTRY    PLIST                                        
C                     PARM           X$YYYY  40      <--4 pos/0dec      
C                     PARM           X$MM    20                    
C                     PARM           X$DD    20                    
C                     PARM           @D1RT   1                     
C                     PARM           @D1TP   1                     
C                     PARM           @D1N#   30                    
C                     PARM           Y$YYYY  40                    
C                     PARM           Y$MM    20                    
C                     PARM           Y$DD    20                    
C                     PARM           @D1NM   3                     
C*   

I am getting a DDE on this line-

C* PLACE THE YYYY INTO HDYTST.                                     
C                     MOVELX$YYYY    HDYTST  80    <--DDE happening
here!
