So you've got thisTo
d Bxwegt s 5 inz('01800')
D Bywegt s 7p 2
*-------------------------------------------------
* Stand Alone Fields - BOTTOM
*-------------------------------------------------
**************************************************
/FREE
Bywegt = %dec(Bxwegt: 7: 2);
*inlr = '1';
return;
/END-FREE
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

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).

Alan Shore--
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
