%DEC third parameter variable


I have a need to make the third parameter of the %DEC BIF a variable.  I
need the result to have a precision of 2 when pgm is executed one way and
then a precision of 0 when ran another way.

The compiler doesn't allow you to use a variable name but will allow you to
use a defined-constant.   The %DEC is being executed multiple times and I
was hoping that I could get away with using a varying third parameter so
that I wouldn't have wrap around it with an IF statement.

Any ideas?

Ciao!
