Off the top of my pointy little head:

dcl ttl_grand like(ttl_owner: 2);

I was able to get the PTF installed, and now the source is compiling. Now I have another question:

In fixed form ILERPG, I can define a field LIKE() another field, and tell the system to add two positions to it such as:

d ttl_grand +2 like(ttl_owner)

Is there an equivalent syntax for a free format D spec to perform the above function? I want to make a grand total field larger (by two) than the individual fields that it accumulates to prevent an overflow situation.

Thank you,

Doug
