>> Hans, with great respect I say your answer blames the victim.
For what it may worth, i fully agree with Hans. It might be because we're
perforning Euro Conversion, but i found out that an error instead of the 'silent
drop' that perform RPGIII is a better approach (especially when data goes
trhiugh several calculation to ends up in a way  that is absolute
uncomprensible).

At the very first time i got the error, i blamed IBM 'cause they send me the
same answer that Hans told (be more precisly, if i'm not wrong, Barbara morris
told 'what if the character dropped was the first digit of the money you get fro
your work ??) but, after a couple of year of using it, I admit it is preferible
to have the job halt on error instead that it will put out incorrect data that
might be difficult to control

That's my 2c...
