Convert Float to Dec

have the following statement.

 

D CharDate         S             11a  

D fltprice             S              8F  

D DecPrice         S             11P 4

 

FltPrice = atoF(Chardata);     

DecPrice = %DecH(FltPrice:5:4);

 

I get the following error when Chardata = '12.2963    '

 

Invalid floating-point format change detected.

The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result (C G
D F)

 

I've tried increasing the side of DecPrice, but that doesn't help. Is
12.2963 too large of a value to convert?
