c eval #CYRP = %int(WORK229) - ((%int(WORK299) *.01) * 100)

or something close to that.

RPGIV - Ignoring decimal precision rules

Please don't ask WHY I need to do this. I just need to know if it is possible. I have a packed field named WORK299 that is defined as 29.9, and another packed field named #CYRP that is defined as 2.0.

I know that I can use traditional RPG like this:
C Z-ADD WORK299 #CYRP

and I will get the 2 least significant digits of WORK299 into the field #CYRP (it will truncate the leading digits of WORK299).

Is it possible to achieve a similar result (truncation of leading digits) in free-form RPGIV?

When I tried:
#CYRP = %DECH(WORK299 : 2 : 0)

This statement works if the value of WORK299 is 99 or lower, but if WORK299 contains a value greater than 99, I get MCH1210 - 'Receiver value too small to hold result'.

Thanks,
sjl
