This is a known problem Buck - with no short-term solution.  There's an APAR
out on it.

The work-round is to define named constants.  These _can_ use the %DecPos,
%Len etc. as INZ values.

Goodness knows why it doesn't work - but Barbara tells me it can't be fixed.

I've had to change several charts because I mistakenly believed the manual!
