See the problem? POS1 is wrong because it only is only 1 position. The values are getting truncated and SCAN is not throwing an error.
POS2 is correct. It has 2 positions.
Has anyone seen this before?
I don't mean to be snide, but practically everyone who has worked with
RPG of a certain age (and that age could refer to the programmer or to
the RPG code!) has seen this. It's a basic and fundamental way in
which RPG works, prior to the introduction of EVAL. "Classic" RPG
arithmetic almost never overflows, it just truncates on the
extremities furthest from the decimal point. (And I say "almost never"
only because I am too lazy to exhaustively rule out every situation.)
Try doing a DO loop from 1 to 100 where the loop counter has only 2
digits.
