RE: %DEC problems

 >> Trying to figure out why the following /free code is blowing raspberries
at me:
 >>
 >>     cuPD   = %dec( %char( %date : *ISO0 )
 >>                  : %len( cuPD )
 >>                  : %decpos( cuPD )        );

This is a know permanent restriction.  It is a problem with the compiler's
design that cannot be remedied apparently without a significant rewrite
which cannot be justified right now.

As Scott has pointed out, the documented work-around is to use named
constants.  Avoid hard-coding the lengths.
