compute within define

[H1004]

Basically what I want to do is take a RegTotal/A10 field and subtract by 12.

Here are my code

DEFINE TABLE NAME
…..
IntRegTotal/I10 = EDIT(RegTotal);
COMPUTE Leftover/I10 = IntRegTotal - 12;

OtherTotal/I10 = IF RegTotal GE ‘13’ THEN LeftOver
ELSE IF RegTotal LE ‘12’ THEN HoursTot
Else ‘ ‘;
END


But it is not letting me, it said that my Leftover field is not recognized.

One thing to note is that the leftover field might be a negative number. I tried using
P10.2 for datatype, but it still gave me the same error message.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

You do NOT need the COMPUTE verb in the DEFINE; get rid of it.
