I tried using %decpos on a template variable, and it wouldn't let me:

editCode = $GetUsageAmountEditCode( %decPos(
dsT_Inv_State.SBeg ) );
RNF0655: Item SBEG was defined with TEMPLATE and cannot be used in this context.
RNF0655: Item DST_INV_STATE was defined with TEMPLATE and cannot be used in this context.

To get around this problem, you could define a named constant as
%decPos( dsT_Inv_State.SBeg )
and pass the named constant in your call.
