Our users, too, came off the /36 and most of the order entry programs are still RPG II.
I built a "native" promotions (reduction from the selling price) table and maintenance program which hooked into the order entry. One of the users keyed "150" (sans decimal point) when she wanted a promotion of $1.50. Needless to say we were giving some hefty deductions that day until someone actually looked at one of the invoices.
We are going to be a mixed shop (II and IV) for a long time, but that's the only time I recall any user getting confused on the issue. Space permitting on the panel, I always add a note such as, "(2 decimals)". I'm not about to jump through extraneous hoops because they have issues (which, as I said, doesn't seem to be the case), but I did add a reasonableness check in the above maintenance program: "Really? Wow!" if the promotion is outside a mathematical range (more than 10% of the basic selling price).
