I don't recall why I had it zoned. DMPOBJ on the data area looks like it is packed. I never willingly use zoned in a declare.

When I've used a numeric data area, it needed to be defined as zoned. And, need a colon separator, not comma.
dcl-s NextSeqNbr zoned(3:0) dtaara('EBS053SEQ');

Subject: 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
