Re: RNQ0103 Error

It is too much to ask for the way you coded it :)

%dec doesn't assume where the decimal point is, it converts the text
directly to a number. When you used the 13,4 number you probably got
412800 but that overflows a 9,4. I think this will work:

WkTax94 = %dec(WkTax : 9 : 0) / 10000;

Subject: RNQ0103 Error

Geez...I must be losing it. I'm trying to take a character string and put
it into a numeric field, and I'm getting an RNQ0103 target error.

Here's the value of WkTax:
000412800
And here's the line of code:
WkTax94 = %Dec(WkTax:9:4);
And here's the definition of the fields:
D WkTax S 9
D WkTax94 S 9 4

I want WkTax94 to have a value of 00041.2800.

Is that too much to ask?

p.s. I've also tried to put the same string value into a 13.4 field.
