Display File Field Error?

[loonybin]

I have a numeric field(18N 0 Dec) which is needed on the selection screen. I am doing a REFFLD, clearly defining it as 18N 0. When I run a debug on my CL and I display the field, it's showing as 10 Char! Could someone please explain this to me. It works if it's only 10N 0.
Does it mean there's length restriction on certain types? If so, is there a way I could handle this a different way?

Thank you in advance.

What you're going to have to do then is:

1. Define #Field as 18 S 0.
2. Remove the REFFLD for #Field.
3. In the program, move the data from GwField to #Field or vice versa.
