RE: More than 9 decimals in RPG/400

alternative for IGNDECERR use FIXNBR in RPG IV.  There are some differences to 
how they perform but it can be done...

BTW...I HATE IGNDECERR!!!!! (especially combined with LVLCHK(*NO) & yes I have 
seen this.....)

Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Sadly, there exist RPG III programs with features that make conversion to
RPG IV difficult.  One such feature is the compiler option 
IGNDECERR(*YES).
For those unaware of this option, it allows the program to ignore decimal
data errors in any numeric field.  This is an important feature for
developers lacking the motivation to test the program and clear up these
errors.
