Well, the problem is certainly thoroughly explained, and there is an
example
of creating a CMD object, but the example uses  a *CHAR parameter, instead
of *DEC. I assume (it's Buck's example) that it was done this way because
the vast majority of the problems are caused by the more complex rules of
the *CHAR.

It'd be nice if you took a minute to add the *DEC example that you sent to
Ping.  Because it focuses only on the issue with numerics, it's much more
concise, and would be a valuable addition to the FAQ.
