Re: The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result.

Mike,

You want it converted to a field with 13 digits, 4 of which are decimals, which leaves 9 digits for the integer part. '0001023000000' will convert to 1,023,000,000.0000; that won't fit. You probably want:
dmrlenrcqt = %dec(Rec_Entered_Recieved_Quantity:13:0) / 10000;
(or * .0001).

I have a question on this that is confusing for me. I have a value in a character field that is defined as 13 long. This field holds a numeric value that converts into a 13,4 decimal value. Here is what is in the variables:

Host field - REC_ENTERED_RECIEVED_QUANTITY = '0001023000000'
Receiving field - DMRLENRCQT = 000005760.0000 (Note this isn't cleared between writes so there is the value from the previous write in the value)

Here is my code:
dmrlenrcqt = %dec(Rec_Entered_Recieved_Quantity:13:4);

Is there anything obviously wrong here? If there is, I am not seeing it. More than likely I am misunderstanding how %dec works.
