To make the DECH works, you need to use Constants known at compile time, not variables

Change the:
%len(packed_data)
by:
dcl-c packed_data_size %Size(packed_data); //Prefered to use Size over Len

Change the:
use_scale
by:
dcl-c use_scale 2; // 2 decimals wanted

then:
return %char(%dech(packed_data/d_shift:packed_data_size:use_scale));

and voilà!

Anyway, I guess I was a bit too vague about where I think the compiler
could tolerate variables for length and decimals ... after a bit more
pondering, I now think that it would pretty much be limited to %CHAR.


Vote for an RFE on the subject, anyone?
