Re: %dec / target for a numeric operation is too small

The example values that you've given (1 or 10.25 or .1258) should work
fine for %dec(wrkscore:4:2). But %dec(wrkscore:4:2) will fail if
wrkscore contains any value that is greater than '99.99', . This is
because you define a precision of 4 with 2 decimal. Well.... That means
it can only hold up to 99.99.

Field wrkscore may have a value like 1 or 10.25 or .1258

d wrkscore s 5a
d testscore s 15s 4

testscore = %dec(wrkscore:4:2);


The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result (C
G D
F).

I've adjusted the field sizes trying to get this to work and still get
the same error. Any suggestions?

Thank you.
