RE: Calculation Truncation Problem

It's defined as:     D  Sum_x_PJS      S             20P 7

Could it be that I've defined it as packed?

No, not optimized.

Is the module optimized?  If so, evaluate the field a couple steps after it
to see the value.
Also, I think the result should be .000005 (but that should still appear in
your n,7 field). 
Otherwise, I got nothin.

I'm having trouble with the following line of code:

Sum_x_PJS = SumOProjD * P1_PjSlsDol;

Where the input variables are:

P1_PJSLSDOL = 0000000000000.01
SUMOPROJD = 0000000000000.0005

When step through the program the result of this is SUM_X_PJS =
0000000000000.0000000.   Of course the result should be .00005.  So, what's
going on?  I have the receiving variable SUMOPROJD small enough to hold the
result, 7 below the decimal.  What am I missing?
