%char isn't causing the issue. You are doing integer division which returns an integer - that step loses the decimal places. %char just converted that integer to character.

Subject: RE: Decimal Place in Character String
return %char(packed_data / d_shift);
Let me be more clear... "packed_data" had no decimal places. The
purpose of d_shift was to put 2 decimal places into the number and then
return it as a character string. I decided that %CHAR took no account of
the division operation and simply produced output with no decimal place
because neither of the variables in the expression had decimal places.
