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

The precision and decimal places refer to the decimal number that will be constructed from the right hand side of the equation. That number will then be assigned to the left hand variable.

It looks like your input field can be as small as '.0001' and as large as '99999', so I think you are going to need %dec(wrkscore:9:4).

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

d wrkscore s 5a

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.
