Declaring a *dec data area

Hi everyone
We are on V7r1

I am trying to declare a data area that is created as *DEC (3,2)
I tried the following
dcl-s Ovrhdr packed(3,2) dtaara('OVRHDTAARA');
But that received a compile error of

*RNF3402 20 a 012200 Length entry is not valid; defaults to blanks.
Pointing to the 3,2 in the compile listing

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

As always - all answers gratefully accepted
