RE: Decimal Data Error

Yep that was the problem....thanks...Always thought decimal data error occurred 
on the field from which data was moved from. Never bothered to check the field 
into which data was moved.

It could be PNoLines that has the invalid data. Did you check that in debug?
If PNoLines is defined in a data structure, it could have X'404040' in it.
Try using the INZ keyword on the PNoLines definition if it is in a data
structure.

Hi all, 

Here is a line of code from my ILE program. 

0064.00 C                   z-add     $LIN#         PNoLines

$LIN# is Packed 5,0 and PNoLines is  also 5,0. 

This line crashes with a Decimal Data Error. At debug I note that the value
of %LIN# is 00004. Why would this be a decimal data error. Also I changed
the value to 00003 and it works just fine.
