Re: target too small but dump says not?

Thanks Chuck, for pointing out what was right there.
The pointer for the DS must be off.

what am I missing? This has been running many years, and not new

values from dump

WPKGID              ZONED(9,0)      DIM(10)

                        (2-10)        000000000.

(one of many fields in a DS)
WORKPACKAGEID      BIN(9,0)        -026960399.  'C2C9D3F1'X

  Do not look at the /number/ for WorkPackageID because its
representation can not present an overflowed value.  Instead, look at
the hex values which is the 4-byte /binary/ value of the string 'BIL1'
which is suspiciously going to have come from a character string.... and
is a *very* large\10-digit negative value.
