Re: %dec vs %len

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I've found that when using expressions in expressions, it helps to place
those expressions in parahthesis.

 MyDec=%dec(MyChar : (%len(MyDec)) : (%decpos(MyDec)));

Thanks,

>From the RPG reference I see
   num1 = 27 + %dec (%float(num1)/num3 : %len(num1) : %decpos(num1));

So, in my RPGLE program I try:
     D MyChar          s             15a   inz('  015.7503 ')
     D MyDec           s             15p 5
     D

     C/FREE
       MyDec=%dec(MyChar : %len(MyDec) : %decpos(MyDec));
RNF0328S The second parameter for %DEC or %DECH is not valid.
RNF0329S The third parameter for %DEC or %DECH is not valid.

Is this a ptf issue or documentation issue?
