The only other way is to use the "olde" op codes of add/sub/mult/div and allow your data to be truncated, thus making your results invalid and your report/inquiry/maint program less than trustworthy of it's accuracy. That said, increase your field size so your accountants know your data adds up correctly.

I am relatively new to RPG IV (RPG/400 Veteran). I occasionally get the error "Target for numeric operation too small to hold result" when my result field is too small. Is there anyway to avoid getting this error besides the obvious, "make my result field larger". Thanks John M.
