EVAL might be the problem because intermidiate value is to long to fix in the 
result field.  EVALR should fix the problem.

try this:
evalr    parms.transNo = %editc((%dec(transNo:%size(transNo):0) + 1):'X');

sorry, this is a typo, I should have typed:

parms.transNo = %editc((%dec(transNo:%size(transNo):0) + 1):'X');

above is a paste of the actual code
