Alan,
Certainly it's a better idea to use an integer in terms of performance and
the the OP wouldn't have hit *this* problem (overflowing at 1000), but if
he'd specified, for instance, a 3I field, he'd have hit a problem at 128,
since a 3I field can only store up to 127. Or at 32768 for a 5I field.
The underlying problem is that the FOR loop checks for 'greater-than-limit'
rather than 'equal-to-limit' - in other words, your index has to be able to
take a value 1 greater than the limit.

The solution is simple. Don't use packed decimal for loop index. Many,
many times slower. Always, always use integers. The compiler is
working correctly.
