Rob,
This is probably caused by numeric fields in a data structure that aren't
being initialized properly, or a reference to a numeric field from a file
where a record was NOT READ successfully.

To fix the problem with data structure fields, in your initialization
subroutine you should initialize all numeric data structure fields to
*ZEROS.

If it is a file field causing the error, *don't* reference any file fields
unless you got a successful READ or CHAIN first.
