RE: RNF7416 on EVAL statement

You need to convert to numeric before trying to set thckmindec
(I assume thckmindec is a numeric field with 0 decimal places).

C eval thckmindec =
%int(%subst(szdia1:startc:endc))

Subject: RNF7416 on EVAL statement

I am getting an 'RNF7416 Type of the right and left side do not match in the
EVAL operation', error on the following EVAL statement.

C z-add 0 thckminall
2 0

C

C '-' scan sizeall endc
2 0 30

C *in30 ifeq '1'


C z-add 1 startc
2 0

C eval thckmindec =
%subst(szdia1:startc:endc)

Field 'SZDIA1' is defined in the input file.

I was hoping someone can give me some help on the reason why.



Thanks,
