Richard,

Please read the "Precision Rules for Numeric Operations" topic in the ILE RPG Reference manual for your release and tell us if you still have a question.

In your case, I'm guessing that the natural precision of the result of your expression is more than 31 digits.

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?
