The host field does not contain a '.' so the value is 1023000000 which is to big to fit in 13,4. Mike -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Wills Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 9:03 AM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result. I have a question on this that is confusing for me. I have a value in a character field that is defined as 13 long. This field holds a numeric value that converts into a 13,4 decimal value. Here is what is in the variables: Host field - REC_ENTERED_RECIEVED_QUANTITY = '0001023000000' Receiving field - DMRLENRCQT = 000005760.0000 (Note this isn't cleared between writes so there is the value from the previous write in the value) Here is my code: dmrlenrcqt = %dec(Rec_Entered_Recieved_Quantity:13:4); Is there anything obviously wrong here? If there is, I am not seeing it. More than likely I am misunderstanding how %dec works. -- Mike Wills Midrange Programmer/Lawson Software Administrator koldark@xxxxxxxxx http://mikewills.name Want Gmail?
