I learned something new today.

Take the following program:

D x S 3P 0
D y S 3P 0

/free

*INLR = *On;
Y = 999;

For X = 1 To Y By 1;
EndFor;

Return;

/end-free


The program bombs with the dreaded "Message . . . . : The target for a
numeric operation is too small to hold the result (C G D F)."

I guess when the endfor is reached the last time through, it attempts to set
the value of x to 1,000.

Live and learn.
