Does he want an answer of 1800.00 or an answer of 180.00? I read it to mean he wanted it as 180.00

And it doesn't through an error...

But that gives you 1800.00 in bywegt and you wanted 18.00.

%dec() expects explicit decimal points in strings, it doesn't deal
with implied decimals in a string.

You're going to need something like so:

d Bxwegt s 5 inz('01800')
D Bywegt s 5p 2
*-------------------------------------------------
* Stand Alone Fields - BOTTOM
*-------------------------------------------------

**************************************************
/FREE
Bywegt = %dec(Bxwegt: 5: 0) / 100;

*inlr = '1';
return;
/END-FREE

HTH,

Alan,

The field is not the problem; the parameters to %dec are. If you change
the field to 7p2, you should also change the call to %dec(Bxwegt: 7: 2).

Thanks for your reply Joep
I'm still scratching my head
The field
d Bxwegt s 5 inz('01800')
Is really the value 18.00

I changed the code to
D Bywegt s 7p 2

with the same result
