Re: Numeric value defined as 63 digits actually greater than 63 digits?

Folks:

This probably has an obvious answer ... but I'm only on my first cup of coffee ... so you'll have to take it easy on me.

I've got a field defined in a qualified data structure that's 63 digits with 0 decimal positions ... but when I compile it, I get the following error:

447 D sequenceValue DS qualified
448 D exists N
449 D start 63 0
450
*RNF0503 20 449 000142 Length of numeric item START is greater than 63 digits;
defaults to 63.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious ... but what is it?

Thanks!

david
