My thoughts are that you're doing a character comparison, not a numeric
comparison. The "." is hex 4B in EBCDIC, 0 is hex F0, so your string
beginning with a decimal point is less than 0.

Weird problem with *ZERO on compare of character value
I have a character field defined as 9A.
This field is an edited representation of a 8.4 numeric field with leading
blanks.
Given the value ' .1525', when I compare it to *ZERO using the
instruction If %TrimL(Field) > *ZERO, the compare fails.
Using a value of '0000.1525', the compare also fails.
Using a value of ' 1.0000' or anything with a value to the left of the
decimal point, the compare works.
I am on a V5R4M5 system with PTF TL58305 installed.
Can someone explain why this does not work as I would expect?
Thanks,
Jeff Young
