Help!!! I have a fairly long-running RPG program that had a 'The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result" message over the weekend. The program is an SQLRPGLE program (no modules or anything - just a regular RPG 4 pgm w/ some embedded SQL). It is running on a system running V5R1. However, the object was originally compiled under V4R3 and has run every weekend since 03/05/2000 with no problems. Anyways, I dumped the program to get the statement # that it blew up on. The problem is that I don't think the line number is right. The statement in error is 804, and the program is only 642 lines long. In the compile listing, line 804 refers to a READE statement on a file. First question: is it even possible to get a 'target too small' on a READE? The program does not redefine any if the fields in that file and the file has not been modifed. Secondly, how can I get the line # it actually blew up on? Should I recompile it under V5R1 and let it run until it blows up again and hope I get the right number this time?
