so after this executes...

%subst(char_area
:%size(packed_data)-field_bytlen+1 // = 9-5 + 1 = 5
:field_bytlen) // =
5
= %subst(trigger_buf:field_pos:field_bytlen);

i have this...

EVAL ds_chararea
DS_CHARAREA.PACKED = 40404040000000000 4040404040404.
DS_CHARAREA.ZONED = .


i'm processing a decimal(9,2)...

then data decimal error.


You misinterpreted one of the names I gave you. %size(packed_data)
is not your data but the redefined data structure I gave you. Thus the
result of %size() should be 16 and not 9.
