RE: strange behavior with MOVEL, RPGIII -- fully resolved

Earlier, I reported that this problem happened on only 2 of 115 records.

I am happy to say that after having reviewed the program, we have discovered 
that 
those two records are the only ones subject to the move in question.

So, the answer is, if you:

MOVELCFRDA     DIV     10

Where CFRDA = '350P', an intermediate move takes place that moves 350P to a 4 
byte numeric, translating each character to a numeric, so:

3 = 3
5 = 5
0 = 0
P = 7-

Then movel to the final result being 3-.  3507- sign rules because it is has a 
larger 
defined size than the result.

Voila!  Mystery solved.
