Re: %dec / target for a numeric operation is too small

Kirk,

As I see it, your 4:2 spec is too small for the 0.1258 value (at least
5:4)...

HTH,

Field wrkscore may have a value like 1 or 10.25 or .1258

d wrkscore s 5a
d testscore s 15s 4

testscore = %dec(wrkscore:4:2);


The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result (C G D
F).

I've adjusted the field sizes trying to get this to work and still get
the same error. Any suggestions?

Thank you.
