RE: Numeric Fields.

Because you (most likely) didn't include the "P" data type in the Data
Structure subfield definition.

Subject: Numeric Fields.

Hi,

It is just out of curiosity that I am asking this question. If I define a
numeric variable in RPG400 using *LIKE DEFINE (the source field is zones) or
Z-ADD *Zeros #X with attributes 4,0 it gets defined as packed. But If I were
to define a field as datastructure subfield with same attributes using a
datastructure it gets defined as zoned.

Can anyone please explain how and why this happens ?

Reagrds,
Venky
