I recently converted an rpg/400 program to rpg iv and am having the
following problem.

d actltd          s              9  0
d actbud       s              9  0
d ltdpct          s              5  3


eval(h)   ltdpct = actltd / actbud

actltd = 10422 and actbud = -46

Any ideas?  I've tried a few times to increase the length of ltdpct, but I
don't think that's the problem.
