I think the first parm for %DEC or %DECH must be numeric in V5R1.

Ok I know this is likely my own stupidity...but here goes.

I have a character field defined as:
TmpNum s 25a

The numeric field is defined in a DS as:
number 30s 9

Here is the line that is getting the error:
number = %Dec(TmpNum:30:9);

The error message is:
*RNF0327 30 1 The first parameter for %DEC or %DECH is not valid.

According to the IBM RPG reference this should be working I'm compiling
to V5R1. any ideas are welcome....

Thanks,
Tommy Holden
