RE: The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result

Instead of doing a move, can't you put the equation within the %dec BIF?


Result = %dec(equation : %len(result) : %decpos(result) );

How do I get around this error using the eval statement?  I DO NOT want
to make the field bigger,  I just want to truncate the extra decimals.
It is a complex equation,  which I then push the result to a display
field,  so to determine the max field size will be difficult,  plus I
then have to move the 'temp' field to a display field.  

 

I just want to ignore the extra decimals!   I tried eval(r)    also and
still get the same errors
