%LEN and %DECPOS cannot be used directly for the second and third parameters
of %DEC or %DECH, even if the values of %LEN and %DECPOS are constant.

Subject: %decpos

Why can I do this:
d mydecimal s 2p 0 inz(*zero)
mydecimal=%dec(rplAry(x):%size(mydecimal):0);
but not this
mydecimal=%dec(rplAry(x):%size(mydecimal):%decpos(mydecimal));
RNF0329: The third parameter for %DEC or %DECH is not valid.
