My apologies twofold, David. First, I meant to put a smiley .-) at the end of that.
Second, in RPG II, if you try to exceed 15 positions it does, indeed, say: Message . . . . : The Result-Field-Length entry is greater than 15.
I might suggest a DCR, but, after some thought, I'm betting that, unlike RPG II which has stabilized/fossilized, the compiler uses the same message for backlevel compiles as it does for current. But, then, maybe not. Maybe Jon knows.

What's it supposed to say, David? "Upgrade to V5R3"?
Perhaps: "Numeric field definition exceeds 32 digits"?
The error message, as it stands, indicates that the maximum size of the numeric field is 63 digits ... and the field definition I'm trying to use is more than that.
