RE: DDS coding

Does Field1 need to be numeric?
I do not think you can put a '.' in a decimal field.
If not try this
FIELD1    4A
Eval   Field1 = %char(1.21)

I'm trying to create a PF with DDS that has a value in the first field
of 1.21.  I need the '.' to be in the file.  I was trying a couple ways
and the only way I got it to work look pretty ugly.
     FIELD1     1S
     DECFIELD   1               DFT('.')
     FIELD2     2S.

I was trying this but no deal :
     FIELD1     4S 2    EDTCDE(3).

anyone know how to do this?

thanks.
m.
