RE: Data area - not working

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doesn't CRTDTAARA *DEC LEN(5,2) mean PACKED(5,2)?
So the P is missing form the Input spec for AVGCLL field?

Subject: Data area - not working

I'm hoping someone can take a look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong
before I pull what's left of the rest of my hair out.  I created a data area
called LAVGCL defined as follows:

Data area:        LAVGCL
Library:            JIMDATA
Type:                *DEC
Length:            5  2
Text:                Limit - Average Close
Value:            15.00


In my RPG program I declare it as follows:

I LAVGCL   UDS
I                                    1    5 2    AVGCLL


When I attempt to run the program I get this message:

The INQRPG *INIT data area LAVGCL type or length does not match program data
area


I printed the dump and it shows the following:

AVGCLL    000256    ZONED(5,2)    '4040404040'X
LAVGCL    000251    CHAR(5)        '     '


The problem is the blanks in a numeric field; the question is how did they
get there and what do I do to solve the problem?  TIA.
