RE: Upgrade to V4R3

This is the wierd thing.  I have a version of the program running on a
different machine that has not been compiled since the upgrade.  It doesn't
have IGNDECERR set and it runs fine.

I was really sure that my mod wasn't the cause of the problem...but, just to
be sure, I took the mod out, and tried it again.  Freekin thing doesn't
work, it's not the modification doing it.

Any thoughts...anybody....

Thanks chaps.

Mark.

Mark,

It ran OK after you upgraded, then failed after you recompiled. It's
therefore almost certainly not a V4R3 problem, but something you introduced
when you re-compiled. You also know you are trying to do arithmetic on an
invalid numeric field. In all probability the program was originally
compiled with IGNDECERR(*YES). If you recompile with this setting the
problem will go away, or rather remain hidden as it was previously.
