I might do that when I get back to lunch.  But it's a beautiful day here
and my wife and children want to meet in the park.  Such blessings to you
all.

Well, the problem is certainly thoroughly explained, and there is an
example
of creating a CMD object, but the example uses  a *CHAR parameter, instead
of *DEC. I assume (it's Buck's example) that it was done this way because
the vast majority of the problems are caused by the more complex rules of
the *CHAR.

It'd be nice if you took a minute to add the *DEC example that you sent to
Ping.  Because it focuses only on the issue with numerics, it's much more
concise, and would be a valuable addition to the FAQ.
