Re: The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the resul t (C G D F)

So Eduard if I MOVE a 11,4 number like 1234567.8901 into a 10,4 field
wouldn't I get 234567.8901?  And you boss wouldn't mind the dropping of
$1,000,000?  I'd like to know the boss who that $1,000,000 was 'old
fashioned' and not needed.

Hi,

Ok, I know, I'm old fashioned.
I just use 'MOVE'  (and have no problems).

Regards,
Eduard.

Are you asking for a routine that will allow you to fit an 11-digit number
into a 10-digit field? If so, there's no routine for that...

If not, what would you like to happen when you try to assign an 11-digit
number to a 10-digit field? I'm not clear on what the desired result is.
