I do not see what im doing wrong. if anyone can help i would be very grateful

 

[PHV]

Q1US and USP are numeric EDITED, so you can't multiply them.

Hope This Helps, PH.

[rpt860]

does that mean i have to define them as 9999.99 for example?

 

[bawstl]

yes, and move or redefine the fields and use those to multiply

 

[coboldeke]

You cannot use 9999.99 as the PIC. That is still an edited numeric field with a decimal point. You need an implied decimal point such as 9999V99. You cannot use a REDEFINES and expect it to work correctly all the time. If you have a field defined as ZZZZVZZ and you move a numeric value to that field, it may contain spaces (which are not numeric) into some of the leading positions. Redefining it does not change the data that is there. So if you tried to use a redefinition as 9999V99 you may get a data exception (S0C7) at execution time.

 

[jhglisson]

At first glance, I think the problem is that Q1US and USP having editing masks on them and are not simply 999999v99.
