Re: Incorrect data returned reading EXCEL worksheet using POS API and XlPares_Workbook

Marco,
Thanks.
I changed my program to use %DECH and it worked.
Question - Do I always need to half adjust when processing a numeric field with decimal values?

Thanks,

I have an EXCEL worksheet where I am selecting specific columns to process in my program.
One of these columns is a numeric column defined with 2 decimal position.
On the worksheet, I have the following values:
1.38-
20.97-
11.44-
0.84
0.80

In my program, I am receiving the following values:
1.37-
20.96-
11.44-
0.83
0.79
 
The PI for my numeric processing subproceedure is :
D NumberCell      PI             1N                      
D   Sheet                     1024A   Varying Const      
D   Row                         10I 0 Value              
D   Column                       5I 0 Value              
D   Value                        8F   Value              

The actual instruction to retreive the data from the cell is :
AdjVarAmt = %Dec(Value : 11 : 2);

The field AdjVarAmt is defined in my program as TYPE = PACKED(11,2)

Does anyone have any explanation as to why this is happening?

I am on V5R3M0
