I meant to say "your code will fail or become unpredictable if value of
WKSCRTMIN is less than or equal to 999 .

%char will suppress leading 0. Your code will fail or become
unpredictable if value of WKSCRTMIN is less than 9999. You probably
want to consider changing the statement to be like below:
HHHH = %DEC(%SUBST(%EDITC(WKSCRTMIN :'X'):1:4):4:0);

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

HHHH = %DEC(%SUBST(%CHAR(WKSCRTMIN):1:4):4:0);

HHHH = 4P0 AND WKSCRTMIN = 8P0

Can't figure out why I am getting this error.
