I have an old system 36 RPG program that has broken unexpectedly.
It is supposed to be adding up the receivables for a month.  The
figures it comes up with are way too high (25 million instead of
36 thousand) and I have written some code to dump certain fields.

I see that for a number of records that it shouldn't even been
including it has the invoice amount as 236,551.69.

This variable is being declared as 122 1292 so is zoned with 2
decimal places.

I hate debugging S36 programs.

Regards,

Jim Langston
