How did you create the data area?

CrtDtaAra IcaNxtId Type(*Char) or Type(*Dec)

Subject: Define *DEC Data Area in /free

I've been trying for 30 minutes to get a data area defined as numeric.

The Data Area is defined as *DEC, length 8,0.

Here is my code that compiles. When I execute I get RNX0411....
"data area was defined to be of type *CHAR and length 8."

Here is my definition
/free
dcl-ds lcaNxtId dtaara;
reckey zoned(8:0);
end-ds;
/end-free

I tried zoned(8:0) on dcl-ds but that's not allowed.

Thanks, Art
